The Bermuda Challenge

Bermuda weeded out, but it will only take a month of so for it to come back.

I have this thing against Bermuda grass in my garden. Actually it is a complete intolerance of it.  I’ve been digging out and removing Bermuda since I was a teenager.  People that say it cannot be done, I simply scoff at.  Getting rid of Bermuda is not that hard, it just takes some diligence.

The trick is to simply spade the grass up and remove all the rhizomes.  The rhizomes typically stay within the top foot of ground, but they can also extend down two feet.  You never want to rototill the ground.  That just breaks the grass into a million pieces.  In fact, I just do a couple shovel fulls at a time.  Removing the rhizomes is a slow, meditative process. Just the kind of thing that people living a busy hectic life could enjoy.

Once you’ve cleared up an area, the best thing to do is not plant it right away.  Water it and watch to see the Bermuda sprout again.  I used to try to get every single rhizome the first time around.  Never did work.  Now I am less meticulous.  I just wait for the missing pieces to sprout and use the spade to get out the rhizomes I’ve missed.

Here in Phoenix I have a special pile where I put the grass.  A couple summer months in the sun and it is completely “solarized” and stone dead.  Then I can use it for mulch without worrying about it sprouting.  When I lived in the coastal regions or places with less room,  I would put it in the trash.

After about one and a half years of living in my home I had managed to eradicate all the patches that had inhabited my quarter acre.  On the south side this entailed entering my neighbors property and digging out their patch by hand.  The only Bermuda left was coming in from my neighbor’s yard on the north.  Since their entire quarter acre yard was infested I knew the only way to get rid of the Bermuda on the north side of my house was going to be to build a wall or barrier that extended deep down into the ground..

I started with a trench that went down two feet.  Originally I thought I would pour concrete in the trench, since I couldn’t think of anything that would create a seamless barrier.  I knew from experience that any seams would be easily penetrated by the Bermuda rhizomes.

In the middle of the trenching process, someone suggested weed block as an alternative.  This came in a 150 ft roll so it would be seamless.  I had some questions about whether it would be durable or strong enough to keep out the Bermuda, but since I couldn’t find anyone on the web that had attempted what I was doing I was the guinea pig.  It seemed like it might work.  I decided to add a layer of plastic.  I thought the Bermuda would have less of an incentive to penetrate the weed block if it didn’t know there was water in my yard.  The plastic would provide a moisture barrier.

I also attempted some chemical warfare.  On my neighbor’s side I poured about 8 gallons of vinegar and about 160 pounds of salt along the property line.  I thought this might deter or stunt the Bermuda growth.  It actually didn’t seem to affect the grass growth at all.

Well the results are in.  Just a few months after the trench barrier was completed I found the fresh growing tips of Bermuda had easily penetrated the fabric.  The Bermuda was growing up in between the cloth and the plastic.  This is shown in the final picture.  In addition, the plastic that is exposed to the sun is already chipping apart.  This is to be expected.  I wonder how well it will hold up underneath the ground since it is all that is holding the Bermuda back.

Originally, I was going to finish the top of the barrier with a concrete wall about 6 inches high.  I was expecting the neighbor’s Bermuda to continue to grow over the top and try to infest my yard, but figured that would give me the edge on it.  I don’t mind doing a sweep every couple of months and weeding any above ground trailers.  The Bermuda is not coming through the weed block that extends above the ground.  It is only right below ground level that it seems to get the needed traction to bust through.

Now I am contemplating going down six to twelve inches with concrete and trusting the plastic to hold underneath.  My assumption will be that the Bermuda will not have a strong drive to move towards my yard once it hits the plastic.  My other alternative is to sell the house.  Hahaha.

Destiny? Divine Guidance?

I was reflecting this morning on how I ended up here in Phoenix.  The decision was made while lying under a pine tree at a park on Crab Cove in Alameda.  I was chanting the Padmasambhava Mantra (although I didn’t know it had a name back then) when there was a glorious shift in energy.  In that moment I understood I had to return to Arizona to pursue a closer relationship with The Asian Classics Institute.  The realization was a combination of what occurred in that moment along with supporting evidence from dreams I’d been having.  Back in those days I called this divine guidance.

These days, I don ‘t look at it the same way.  Last year I had an experience that made me realize what I was calling divine guidance was simply different aspects of my mind.  And those aspects of mind do not always have my highest good in mind.  This wasn’t an intellectual discovery, but a realization of truth.  Realizations are hard to convey to others, since people just start to think about them.

For instance, many of us have heard the fact that solid matter is really just 99% space.  This means that it isn’t really as “solid” as we think.  Now, if I have the realization that solid matter is mostly space, I would be able to walk through walls.  Do you see the difference?  A realization, in the way I am talking about it, changes things.  An idea or understanding doesn’t have that power.  If I tell someone I have realized that matter is mostly space they will want to talk about it (or they won’t be really interested).  Yet, what I’m trying to convey is that I can walk through walls.

What I realized last year was that a fundamental aspect of my spiritual path does not exist.  There is no spirit in my spirit-driven life.  My intuition is clouded by karmic firings of my brain.  When I am attracted to something it could very well be because I have unresolved issues.  This realization rocked my boat a little, but it is indeed one step closer to freedom.

I’ve been seeing this a lot in my consulting practice lately.  People come in with mental afflictions they want relief from.  The mental afflictions appear to be in reaction to their relationships with parents, friends, partners or children.  When I start digging around they claim past life connections with the people involved in these situations.  People often have vows, oaths, and/or debts that they don’t realize.  It is these that are actually driving their reactions and actions.  Once they are released from these obligations, they are free to be in the present with these people.  Fears, anger, and dysfunctional patters just fall away.

I am reminded of a story where the Buddha was doing this same kind of work with a young man.  My version of the story goes like this.  The young monk saw a young woman on the street and could not get her out of his mind.  He goes to the Buddha to be released from his monk vows so he can pursue her.  The urge is so strong, he is sure it is his destiny.

The Buddha show the young man two of his past lives.  In one he is a deer and because of his attraction to this female he is killed by a hunter.  In the other tale he is a fish and because he blindly follows her he ends up in a fisherman’s net while she escapes.  He tells him this is just two of many lives he has ended up dead because he has pursued this same woman.  His desire is not destiny, but just a continuation of the same habitual pattern.

If I was doing ThetaHealing with this monk, I might check to see if he has the vow or belief that he has to give his life for this woman.  He might have made this vow in a past life in a moment of extreme passion, and now it is showing up in a convoluted manner.  If we remove the vow, he might find that the strong urge to be with her just drops away.  The Buddha’s approach is cognitive behavioral approach.  My approach is to cut away the root of the desire.

This is how it goes: someone comes to me with unusual fear regarding a loved one and the fear is telling them something bad is going to happen to their loved one and that they will “die” if this occurs.  Instead we find that fear is based on an unattainable goal that says “I must protect them”.  Once the belief is removed they experience peace.  They can then choose how to be in relationship to that person.  The little mental potential that has been driving their actions and emotions has been destroyed.

Next time you think, “This is my karma, my destiny, my fate, or the divine’s will for me.”  consider the possibility that you are being driven by some old habitual pattern.  Consider the questions:

  • What is for my highest good, given my current goals?
  • Could this be a habitual pattern or reaction motivated by my long dead past?
  • What could I be choosing if I didn’t choose this?
  • How did I create this?

 

Some urges do serve our purpose.  Only you can determine what is best for you.  The answers are within you.  However, even when you get an answer, it only is applicable for that moment.  Keep asking the questions in each moment and avoid locking yourself into a conclusion.
