[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2971942, member: 24583"] I have a project area I am working on also. I mowed close around the house frequently the past few years so our older dog would not itch so much. Particularly since our long hot summer a couple years ago we have been shorted on rainfall and I really hurt the Bermuda mowing too low. This let other grasses and weed stuff take over. I really messed up. Further out where I let it get taller before I mowed it looks great. This year I put round-up on early to get rid of some of the undesirables that had greened out in my problem area, but with the soil temperature still low, it really looks bad, big yellow dead area. The Bermuda is just starting to sprig out a little, I hope there are enough roots below the dense other grasses I killed to fill in soon or I am going to have a big bare dirt yard and a mud pit if it rains. I do hope we get some rain soon. Most of the ponds in this area are almost dry, really bad on the ranchers and farmers in this area. A storm just came by and missed us a couple of miles, as usual, dropped almost enough to wet the deck. Bad deal. My plan is when the Bermuda starts getting established, to spray fertilizer, then follow up with a dose of 2-4-D to work on some of the other weeds and clover, then mow it frequently at normal height hoping the Bermuda will thrive and choke out more of the undesirable grasses and weeds.
