I'd like to spray a 18" strip around my house's foundation to rid myself of
all vegetation BEFORE I rototill it up and put down heavy fabric and rocks.
But I fear that anything that can kill bermuda grass (of which I have an
abundance) and rabbit brush will also lay my yard to waste



I don't know what will kill "everything" but they stuff they use on
corn fields sure kills everything except corn. So you might use
something like that, unless you're being overrun by corn.

That stuff is also pretty short lived so you can plant something else
in the field the next year.
