How Do You Plant Bermuda Grass Seed in Blackjack?

Bermuda grass is a warm-season turfgrass that is commonly used in lawns, golf courses, and athletic fields. It is a tough, resilient grass that can tolerate high traffic and heat.

Bermuda grass is a fast-growing grass, and it spreads by sending out runners (stolons) that take root and form new plants.

Bermuda grass is started from seed, and it is best to plant the seed in the spring or early summer when the soil is warm. Bermuda grass seed is very small, so it must be surface-seeded onto a prepared seedbed.

The seedbed should be firm, free of weeds, and have good drainage.

PRO TIP:To successfully plant Bermuda grass seed in Blackjack, start by loosening the soil with a garden rake to a depth of about 2 inches. Next, spread the seeds evenly at a rate of 10lbs per 1,000 sq ft. Finally, cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and keep the area moist until the grass reaches 1-2 inches tall.

To plant Bermuda grass seed, first loosen the soil with a rake or hoe. Then, spread the seed evenly over the area using a lawn spreader.

After spreading the seed, lightly rake or drag the area to help incorporate the seed into the soil. Water the area lightly with a garden hose to keep the seed moist until it germinates.

Bermuda grass seed typically germinates within 10 days to two weeks if the soil is kept moist. Once the grass has germinated and grown to about 3-4 inches tall, it can be mowed.

Mow Bermuda grass at a height of 1-2 inches for best results.
