Level the surface with pulverized soil for about 5 inches before planting seeds.
BERMUDA GRASS SEED FREE
After loosening the soil, take a gap of two to three weeks, before establishing the grass, so that the area is free of any dormant weeds or sprouts of earlier plantings.Bermuda grass grows best at soil pH of 5.5 or above.Regulate deep, but frequent, water supply after the Bermuda grass has been established. Moisture: In the initial stages of germination, provide (and maintain) adequate surface moisture (not too much or too little) and maintain the soil moisture for the entire germination stage. (Bermuda grass seeds should never be planted more than 1/4″ deep in the soil.) To keep the birds away and promote moisture retention, cover the surface with a mixture of manure compost. Quantity: For every 1000 square feet, use 2-3 pounds of Bermuda grass seeds, 9-10 pounds of raw seeds for every acre in a new establishment and 14-17 pounds of coated Bermuda seeds for each acre in a new pasture establishment.ĭepth: Bermuda seeds must be sown at a depth of 1/8″ or less for optimized growth. This method is not followed commonly because, there is a high risk of the Bermuda grass seeds rotting, if the low temperature persists for a long time and the soil becomes saturated with moisture.) Plant the seeds and leave them to be dormant until the temperature rises above 65✯ in spring. ( Dormant seeding can be done in the middle of the winter, when the temperature is a steady 60-65✯. Bermuda grass seeds are usually planted two and a half months before the first frost in most of the Northern states and two months before the first freeze in the Southern states. Time: It is generally recommended to establish Bermuda grass seeds in the beginning of summer (before August ends). The growth activity of Bermuda grass halts when the temperature is below 60✯ at night. This temperature is found after 80-90 days of constant high temperature during the day. Temperature: Soil temperature of around 70✯ or more is ideal for planting Bermuda grass seeds. Some of the most important ones are discussed below. But special attention must be paid to certain factors while growing Bermuda grass from seeds. The most inexpensive way of growing grass is by seeds.
