The lawns around where I live (south central Kansas) seem to be mostly Bermuda grass. After reading the "Organic Lawn Care for the Cheap and Lazy" page, I wondered whether the same suggestions applied to Bermuda grass, so I headed to these forums. Most of the topics I found when searching for Bermuda grass were along the lines of "OH PLEASE HOW CAN I KILL IT!?"
The folks in those other threads must not be cheap and lazy -- I just want to know the easiest way to have more grass and fewer weeds. Does the "mow high" guideline apply the same to Bermuda grass?
And one other thing -- I don't like how Bermuda grass encroaches on the sidewalks and street curb. That bothers me just enough that I might do something about it, if there's an easy way to chop it off where lawn meets concrete. Is a weed-eater or edger the thing to use, or something else? We have a cordless weed-eater that I never bother using, but my wife tells me that it has trouble with Bermuda grass, especially a few minutes after you take it off the charger, when it starts slowing down just a little. Do I need some other tool, or a different kind of string, or is there no good way for folks as lazy as my wife and I are to keep the grass off the sidewalk?
Thanks.
