Might be fun to compare notes. Have found that the "degree" of Bermuda infestation made a significant difference in how things looked *after* the "success".
We had areas that were nearly totally Bermuda. We have a small birdcage coming soon so I've taken some of the "sod" from that area (where there was a much lower percentage of Bermuda) and tried replacing some of the worst areas of infestation with it - prior to starting this "chemicals" experiment. It's been interesting and still I'm still learning a lot.
Wouldn't be getting my hopes up too much about the torpedo grass, though. Making one's own "sod" teaches one a *lot* about rhizomes and stolons. They're not all the same. :-) OTOH, other than a few "special" weed types - such as doveweed - we've had a *huge* reprieve with the "regular" weeds, such as spurge and nutsedge. Our pest control company seems to be pretty good with the "special" types.
