re: Best type of Bermuda seed for BR area.
Posted by bayoubengals88 on 5/15/24 at 8:26 am
[quote]Does anybody have an opinion about this seed?
[/quote] I'm not seeing any specs as to which kind of seed it actually is.
Chances are, it's just a coated common bermuda.
I wouldn't buy from a site that provides so few details, which is why I prefer Hancock. Also Ronk recommended Hancock ...

Honestly the mower itself might be the best option if the wheels are big.

How thick is the Centipede?
Try your best to get good seed to soil contact with the Bermuda.
Use Hancock seed and start sooner rather than later if you want better success.
Mow really low and 2-3 times/week after the seed is established to promote growth....

For Zoysia, it’s rated at 11 oz an acre.
You’d probably start with 6.5 until you get comfortable with it.
Label rate could stunt growth for quite a long time, or so I’ve read.
T-nex is almost $1.25 per oz. When you buy a gallon. Roughly $160.
So label rate will run you a little less than...

Anyone else using it?
I'm gonna give it a try later this week starting at a low rate of .2 oz per thousand (common bermuda), and at a lower rate for St. Aug.
These pictures convinced me to go for it, and I don't really have the time to mow every 2-3 days right now.

re: Recommend me a sprayer for roundup?

All I can speak for is the Chapin Premier 2 gal. I spent a bit more on this one at $85 but I knew I’d be spraying a between herbicide, pesticides, and iron.
It’s quite sturdy and sprays well.
Need to replace one of the rubber gaskets, but that’s probably due to my poor storage....
