• Lawn Applications New Lawns - Plant 1 - 2 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.
• Pasture and Erosion Applications
• New Pastures - Plant 25 - 50 lbs. per acre
• Erosion Areas - Plant 50 - 100 lbs. per acre
• Fertilization Recommendations

Lawn Fertilization - Apply 5 - 10 lbs. of 16-4-8 slow release fertilizer per 1000 sq. ft. four times a year (Late Spring, Mid Summer, Late Summer, Early Fall) for the first two years. After a fully established lawn has been accomplished apply 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. two times (Mid Summer, Late Summer) a year. Pasture Fertilization: Apply 250 - 350 lbs. of 16-4-8 slow release fertilizer per acre in Late Spring, Mid Summer and Early Fall. Animals that are grazing will damage the Bermuda grass if the pasture is not properly fertilized annually.

How To Grow Bermuda Grass From Seed

Growing American Bermuda Grass in your lawn or garden can be a great choice due to its durability and lush appearance. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Choose the Right Time: Bermuda grass seeds thrive in warm temperatures. The best time to sow them is late spring or early summer when the soil temperature consistently stays above 65°F (18°C).

2. Prepare the Soil: Start by clearing the area of weeds and debris. Loosen the soil to about 6 inches deep and mix in a 2-inch layer of compost to enrich it. Ensure the area is level to avoid water pooling.

3. Sowing the Seeds: Spread the Bermuda grass seeds evenly across the soil. A seed spreader can help ensure uniform distribution. Aim for about 50g of seeds per 80-100 square feet.

4. Cover the Seeds: Lightly rake the area to cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Alternatively, you can use a roller to gently press the seeds into the soil, which helps improve seed-to-soil contact.

5. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination. Water lightly but frequently, ideally twice a day, until the seeds germinate and the grass begins to grow.

6. Fertilizing: Once the grass reaches about 3 inches tall, apply a starter fertilizer to support root growth. Follow up with regular feedings according to the fertilizer’s instructions, typically every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season.

7. Mowing: Start mowing when the grass is about one-third taller than the desired mowing height, but never remove more than one-third of the grass blade in a single mowing. Bermuda grass is best kept at about 1.5 to 2 inches tall.

8. Maintenance: Regularly check for pests and diseases. Aerating the soil and dethatching the lawn yearly can help maintain its health and vigor.
