Nah not really. And obviously throwing it away.

Maybe you’re the only homeowner on the planet getting all the roots. You should sell autographs!

You may not have read what I did and am very confident this will work for others.

Year 1, I stayed on top of it with MSM Turf. Year 2, I maybe sprayed once.

After all of this, the mature patches were completely gone. You’re left with small immature plants, easy to pull the taproot completely out by hand. They’re not mature enough to have an extensive root system.

I literally had VBW all over my Bermuda lawn, and this eradicated nearly 99% of it by year 3. I left out that I stay on top of my pre-emergent, but it’s not that effective against VBW anyway. So the little VBW I do have are newly germinated.

I don’t find it difficult to pull out of beds. I don’t give a shite if it’s in the lawn
