Rebecca, you take your potatoe fork & you bend over dig em out.  Havent
found anything else that work.  We have quack grass here, number one
invasive time consuming garden concern.  One control that Ive been
interested in trying is making a tea out of diseased quackgrass &
spraying it on healthy plants.  Might be worth a try with bermuda as
well.

Joe Hollis told us that quackgrass rhizomes are selling for $50/lb.
