I have a lawn fescue and Bermuda grass. I’d like go overseed with clover this fall but I’m concerned the Bermuda is going to choke anything else out. It isn’t native here and it gets into everything. Killing my lawn first isn’t really an option as the Bermuda will creep back in. How can I move toward a more sustainable yard with this awful Bermuda going wild?
Dense plantings help keep it at bay. For flowers and grasses, cut in half the recommended plant spacing that you’ll find on gardening sites.
I have orange coneflower bordering a pocket prairie, planted one foot apart (center of plant to center of plant). Bermuda grass grows around the edge, but rarely enters it.
