Great video. New follower. We are in North Texas and I’m studying what kind of grass I want to put out this spring. Appreciate the video.

I've had good luck with Cowboy Bermuda from Turner seed. Both times I've planted it I've been able to graze in the Fall. I've also planted WW B-Dahl four times and it's amazing stuff for grazing cattle

Great video, I see the Cowboy Bermuda and the WW, are these coastal types? I’m also wondering if I could use a Hay King or aerator and broadcast Bermuda over my mixed grass?

Coastal is a type of Bermuda that can only be planted by sprigging "roots" that are dug out of the ground. Cowboy is a mixture of several types of Bermuda that can be grown from seed. WW B Dahl is a bluestem bunch grass that is grown from really tiny seeds. It's amazing for cow grazing and cow hay as long as there isn't sometimes standing water.

5lbs per acre seems so little. I've read elsewhere that 20lbs would work too. Any disadvantages with seeding too much?

@LewisRenovation Жыл бұрын

I think the concern with over seeding, besides price, is all the additional new grass sprouts compete with each other for water

I need to plant my pasture which was almost all sandburs. 1 hour SE of San Antonio. I thought bermuda seed was sterile? I'm looking into SPRIGGING with Coastal Bermuda.

@LewisRenovation Жыл бұрын

Coastal, Jiggs, & Tifton must be sprigged but there are other varieties of Bermuda that can be seeded like common and giant. I planted a 3 type mix called Texas Tuff

@@LewisRenovation thanks Lewis. I planted Elbon rye in September. It's not a perrinial but I wanted to have something other than sandburs. I'm now wondering how to get pasture grazing grass started where I planted the rye. My thought is to seed into the rye then roll crimp it down onto the seeds.

@@garrymitcham7693 I would round up the rye at the beginning of April and seed or sprig at the end of April

What part of Texas is this ?

Central near Temple. Are you from Texas as well?

@farmingforfunandprofit940 Жыл бұрын

Obviously you are planting a common type of Bermuda because ours is a Hybrid Cross so the seed are sterile so we have to plant spriggs.......(Tifton 44)

@LewisRenovation Жыл бұрын

It’s an improved variety of Bermuda with viable seeds. I have pasture of half Jiggs and have this seeded variety and they produce the same
