@lovemyhouse Debra, if it helps any, I've always been told that you should make the newspaper 9 or 10 layers thick, in order to kill the grass. I think it's something that is taught in the master gardener class, as every master gardener I've known has mentioned that. I have no idea how many layers you would need to kill Bermuda grass, but maybe that would be enough? This is the method that I use between my rows of daylilies, and it works well. There is no grass in the area, but it does keep the weeds under control.
