You might contact your county ag agent for the latest method. Roundup should work -- forget the Walmart dilute stuff, and get real Roundup--4 pounds active ingredient per gallon--available as a generic under several names-- the common name to look for on the label is glyphosate. Use it at a rate of about a gallon an acre, don't plant anything for a year, if it comes back, do it again. It needs to be applied when the grass is actively growing, so wait until May or June. The stuff needs a lot of leaf area to translocate into the rhizomes. If you insist on having a garden this year, you can get a piece of PVC pipe with a wick at the end and brush it on, just don't touch whatever you have in the garden.
