Yes! The roots are INSANE. Thanks for the watering tip! Clearly we missed some roots because I pulled a disturbing amount of new growth out last night, 5 days after the clean out.

To try to get as much Bermuda grass out as possible, I really soak the ground with the garden hose. It’s a wet, nasty job, but I don’t see anyone lining up behind me to volunteer. Makes the dirt a lot softer and you can pull up 2 feet of roots. I still expect to pull up a Chinese person hanging onto the root on the other end! Plus, your flower bed gets a good soaking. My middle name is Procrastination! Paperwork filing, you name it. Your freshly done flower bed looks beautiful. Now you can drive up with pride instead of slinking into the garage after dark…Austin, TX.
