best way to kill out bermuda
my lawn is a mess of weeds and stickers. I don't want to water a lawn anyway.

how to kill it out so I can put down gravel?

suggestions?

it's about a 80' x 20' area (less my 10x12 porch)

TIA you gardeners you! :hi:

1. Just cover it with plastic
No light for a while and anything growing will die.

2. What Jersey Devil said...
...and if you don' have that much plastic, use layers of newspaper and/or cardboard, with rocks to weight them down. Then put the gravel right over the newspaper/cardboard/plastic.

helpfully,
Bright
