Bermuda grass is what killed my yen for a veggie garden 30 years ago. I fought it for 5 years and finally gave up. I believe monkey grass is a close first cousin to BG. This is our first attempt at lasagna and I couldn't be happier. Seems to be working for now. There is a tree stump 5'x6' under all of that and we didn't put anything on it but the newspaper , etc. No chemicals. It hasn't shown anything.
Our problem is pecan seedlings. Neighbor has beautiful trees that I absolutely love, that is until they germinate in my flower and vegetable gardens. Grow faster than a weed. Guess there is no solution for every single thing. Expecting this garden will be better this fall when we turn and add more of special mix soil. Then by next Spring...Katy, bar the door!

To finally answer your question. I do believe lasagna style will kill bermuda. BUT, YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY OPEN SOIL or it will just go there and come up again. As in covering the soil with paper except where the plants are now. If you take the plants up and cover the bed solid, and then replant, it will work.

Sure have liked not buying that expensive lettuce this year. This was $1.79 pkg of seed. Just snip the tops and it grows back. yum
