You'd have to go down 18-24" to get all the Bermuda grass roots.

[@hugshoney3409]

'Earth is my planet' at the beginning and at the end of the videos have surely grown on me. 😆 ❤️

[@baxterbella5730]

That bermuda that grew was from the roots you didn't remove initially. They go down several feet.

[@gretchencline5124]

Love how your dogs just hang out with you as you work❤

[@ndrunningriver]

Hey Paul! Love it when you post. Can’t wait to see the yard in the summer.

[@StewartHines]

I like that little gray dog's stub tail in the time-lapse. 😂

[@amerwine]

When you buy your seeds, buy from a reputable seed company that will have a seed mixture for your specific area. 100% native seeds no fillers. Looking great so far! Loving your channel.

[@8thLifeARC]

Ayee looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

[@vladimirsanchezgarci]

[@margie9026]

[@paulplantu]

It was a lot of work but needed to be done!! I’m excited to plant into it!

[@Carlosreactiontwo]

Waited long for a video so thank you sir 🫡

[@paulplantu]

I appreciate the patience! Life’s been hectic lately!

[@rickyt3961]

[@paulplantu]

Me too! I can’t wait!

[@6gus0deely6]

say no to lawns.. paul so real for this one

[@WeMe9]

Nice video!

[@Notty23]

Whew !! You go !! need you at the old home homestead to plant fruit trees and garden. 😊❤

[@paulplantu]

I know, I need to see what y’all have going over there!

[@Notty23]

So I have learned to dig up more soil and put straw in strips and water the heck out of it’s self irrigating. After you kill everything.

[@kuatiogui]

been following your channel for a few months now and guess what, we're back to square one. lol

[@kf1683]

The dog the second you put the cardboard down. 😂

[@TheRugghead]

This is classic case of having too much knowledge and not enough experience

GENIUS

[@rachelhall4808]

Bermuda will grow through all mulch even if it’s 2 feet deep and covered with landscape fabric. I know from experience

[@harvey8695]

I almost spilled my coffee when Jamie Kennedy popped up. lol

[@juliam4303]

Ha i have that jumping over plants and running several feet, not inches. Must be our special florida kind! 😬 I enjoy your videos, great job!

[@paulplantu]

Yeah, it’s some crazy grass. Hopefully I handled it

[@AudsLecker]

I literally paid landscapers to take a sod cutter to my entire yard to get rid of this bs. They went several inches deep. it's been 2 weeks it's ALREADY BACK. Obvi we didn't go deep enough!

[@paulplantu]

Yeah, it took 2 attempts but now the Bermuda is out. I’d just dig deep where it popped back up unless it’s everywhere

[@stephanieparker5049]

Broooooooh you are busy💪💪💪💥💥✌️💯

[@paulplantu]

I stay gettin it!! Haha

[@cameronhouston6219]

Ayeee I’m early early 🤣

[@paulplantu]

Let’s goooo!!

[@MrDdooitt]

They actually go 12-24” deep. Pretty sure it’s gonna come back with a vengeance….

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

greetings!

[@michellepollino4986]

That was a lot of work, digging all that grass up. Great idea using the cardboard and leaves to block out the grass.

[@paulplantu]

Thanks coach!

[@ZE308AC]

Nice hat!

[@paulplantu]

Appreciate ya governor!

[@gammayin3245]

Oh - beware of putting Bermuda grass stolons into your compost pile - the seeds get killed but the stolons might survive.

[@deonnamounce1883]

That dang grass is a problem here in ohio too

[@kmarch6630]

I truly hate Bermuda grass.

[@paulplantu]

It’s good for soccer fields and nothing else

[@2A_supporter]

Bro said I’m gonna dig it out so I don’t have to use poison! Proceeds to spray poison along the edges 😂

[@paulplantu]

I mean does it really need explaining that’s there’s a difference in spraying an entire yard and the sliver of an edge?

[@24mbronc]

I tried this cardboard method on my St. Augustine grass a few years ago but without digging it up, just cardboard, and it worked great!! I made sure I had 3 layers because that grass is a bitch to get rid of!! I didn't want to use any chemicals because I free range a handful of chickens and I didn't feel like eating roundup laced eggs!!

[@paulplantu]

St. Augustine is what I have on the side of my house and the cardboard worked like a charm on it. Bermuda is a whole different situation with those rhizomes tho

[@AlvinC-sz3li]

How long did you cover your lawn with cardboard?

[@24mbronc]

@@AlvinC-sz3li what do u mean how long did I cover it? I never removed it just put dirt on top of it and let it decompose naturally and threw some seed on it.
