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


Black plastic will work, but there is no need to kill everything. If
the only reason for killing stuff is to till, it will still be tough
with remaining roots/sod. Cut the grass and put your fabric and rock on
top. It isn't going to grow through the fabric and rock.


Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah!

Wait and see!

Been there.
