You also need to worry about the Bermuda seed. An emergence will take care of the seeds. Bermuda grass or weeds. It stops the seeds from germinating. I use Preen. I get a large container at COSTCO and it is much cheaper. I have crushed granite in part of the back landscape and it keeps everything out with only a spring application. Of course that is after a few years,. Soil surfer will soften up your dirt and make it easy to work. Just apply, water and wait a few days. The dirt will be easier to cultivate. One thing about Bermuda is it is like a mint. Leave one root and it will reappear. Just plan to be in the garden on a daily basis just to take a walk around and see if anything is growing anywhere it should not be. Only takes a few minutes. Oh, by the way I live in Las Vegas with a large home with two guest bedrooms. All you DG's come on down and the room is free. Just need to walk the garden and give advise. We are not near the strip. We are close to the mountains. But you can get to the strip if you want to or you can walk about a mile and get to two different casinos. We are stay at home gardeners but we have many young neighbors that can tell yo where you want to go and why. I have lived in Las Vegas since 1960 and did mortgage since early 1970. God came down from Heaven, kissed me on the forehead and put me in an industry that I would succeed and love. I was the first female loan officer in the western United States and the first at Transamerica!!!!!. I loved people and gardening and they both went together. The photo is myself and my husband on our 35th anniversary.
