I can't remove rose bushes and torpedo is well established in the centipede grass surrounding the area...all of the neighbors have it too

Can't nuke everything, because I do not own the property, not that it matters much cuz it'll creep back in a year or two

Corndog is seriously jammed up over here... Any advice? Any products?

I bought some weed barrier fabric and plan on putting it down, and new mulch over the top.... that's the best I got

It'll bust through that like it's not even there.

Move.

It goes straight through weed fabric.

As a test last year I cut and placed an old tarp in a bed to see if it would stop it… went straight through it when weighted down with rocks in the bed.

You need to selectively apply glysophate to it. It will more than likely require a couple of applications.

Went right through my weed barrier, just bought the heavy duty kind to see if that will work. Considering double layering it.

When it grows tall to reach the sun over the bushes, pull it away from the bushes at the bottom ( without breaking it off) to an area where you can spray it with glyphosate

This stuff is relentless. If I go two weeks without weeding the garden it has moved in and taken up residence. Considering resodding to zoysia to nuke it yearly and just be done with it.
