Hello,
I'm fairly new to gardening, and i took over a house where the lawn was in pretty bad shape. I live in a suburb of Houston, Tx. I've been repairing brown spots of my St augustine with sods from the nursery. Now it's beginning to look ok BUT....in several spots there is bermuda grass taking over (I'm pretty sure it's Bermuda. I'm enclosing a picture...the two grasses on the left are the invaders and the one on the right is my St. Augustine). I think the offender came with the sods, but some might have been dormant in my yard already. I've been pulling it up as much as i can, but it seems to spread much faster than i can keep it under control.
Anyone has a helpful hint to get rid of the Bermuda without damaging the St. Augustine?


Thanks!!
