redoing old bermuda grass yard
Hello, have a 25 year old yard (many weeds and bad grass) and was wanting to
restablish the yard this year. I live in the Dallas area, just put MSMA down to kill all the bad grass. We have also put down a starter fertilizer and am watering it in. My question is it best to keep the grass cut low or do I need to keep the grass cut at about 3 inches to protect the roots from the 90 and 100 degree heat that is just around the corner. Will the grass still spread if I cut it so tall? I have several bald spots where I need the grass to spread and get thick. any ideas? Thanks,Gary |

Cut it at the height recommended for the bermuda variety you have. Will the grass still spread if I cut it so tall? There is NOTHING you can do to stop bermuda from spreading I have several bald spots where I need the grass to spread and get thick. Loosen the surface and spot-water them heavily ... the bermuda will send runners towards the water.
