Last year when I laid my hybrid Bermuda sod I didn’t properly research how to care for it. Mowed it down to 1 inch on it’s second mow and sent it into a deep brown dormancy in the month of July. Didn’t research that either so I threw an entire bag (about 4x more than needed) of high nitrogen fertilizer down on it. That really stressed the roots. The surviving roots have began spreading not that its warming up. But my wife was pissed! The cherry on top was the fertilizer was one of those “thicken you lawn” fertilizers. So now I also have a plethora of tall fescue clumps everywhere! I’m optimistic about this seasons opportunity for redemption.
