Hi I live in Copperas Cove Tx, all the grass in my yard is bermuda grass, this year some of the grass died. I have a lot of weeds and a grass with long roots that I have to dig up with a pick in order to get rid of it, it will grow from pieces of it's root, don't know what type of grass it is.I used weed killer for the weeds, but this weed killer will not kill this grass . the only thing will kill this grass is grass killer, but I cannot use it because this grass is growing between the bermuda grass and I don't want to kill the bermuda .I notice a lot of green moss all over the yard even in places where the water runs off easily. How can I get rid of the moss and that ugly grass. Terrence

Bermuda Grass, Compost, Corn meal
You will need to build the health of the soil up to get your lawn back in shape, spot treat the yard with Natural Weed Control to kill off any unwanted grasses or weeds. After the weeds are dead aerate the lawn and spread a half inch thick layer of compost over the entire yard and follow up with a good organic fertilizer mixed with Bermuda seed. When the fall comes around broadcast a pre-emergent like corn gluten meal to keep any dormant weed seeds from germinating. Repeat the aeration and composting process as well as applying the pre-emergent for the next year or two and the Bermuda should take over the yard.
