Question 1

Why can’t I find this seed on Pennington web site

Accepted Answer

It’s not easy to find due to newer hybrid strains.

Question 2

What is the coverage per lb ? I saw that the 25lb bag noted 25k sq ft.  So the math notes 1lb= 1000 sq ft.  Do the smaller bags note same ratio?

Accepted Answer

Maybe for a pro 1lb = 1k sq ft but I found that I needed around 1.5 - 2 lbs for my ~1.2k sq ft yard.  If you can get a good even consistency, I think you could pull it off.

Question 3

Is the Princess 77 Bermuda grass good for shaded areas?

Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, Bermuda isn’t a good choice for shade but it depends how much shade you have. It really requires a good 4 hours of direct sun to do well, although a longer cutting height in shady areas can help.

Question 4

Whats the prep for this? we have 250 sq ft dirt yard, the soil is clean but pretty hard- can i loosen it and seed/water? live in  socal

Accepted Answer

I live in South Texas.  I tilled the soil, evened it out, spread the seeds by hand, raked them lightly into the dirt and watered.  Watered twice a day until the grass was about 2" in height, then reduced to wastering once a day for about a week, and then less frequently until I got to the point where I water it only when the dirt was absolutely dry and the grass started to turn brown.
When it reached 2 inches I cut the grass down to about 1 inch and kept doing that for several weeks.  Also fertilized twice after I stated cutting it (No fertilizer with weed killer - it will kill the grass).  Most weeds I pull manually, the remainder I spot treat with liquid weed killer for lawns.
I have a nice lush lawn now!
