It's going to look bad for a while when the Bermuda dies but I'm planning on getting a whole bunch of St Augustine sod plugs and going that route.

The information on the Recognition does list torpedo grass in the suppression category and it does seem to be working. A lot of it is turning yellow so I'm spraying and praying. My neighbor has a lot of torpedo grass so if I can keep it from spreading I'll be happy.
Ahh, St. Augustine. I noticed that the LCN had varying success rates with his two S.A. versions and the Bermuda suppression. Do you know which type you have here? I've gotten the sense that Floratam and ProVista have been bounced around here. Guess it was his Palmetto that he was struggling with. Some of the S.A. lawns I've seen here north of 466A have been surprisingly dark green and thick. No idea which variety those are.

The torpedo rhizomes remind me of the Alien. :-) I think I have some pics around somewhere. . .
