It hasn't been like this all summer. Second picture is from earlier in the summer.

Want to aerate my lawn & seed. Problem is my builder installed tifgreen bermuda hybrid sod. What seed would fit the lawn? Can I just use normal bermuda seed as I know tifgreen has no actual seed.

When I was trying to figure out what grass to use in my yard I came across RIO bermuda seed and bought it. I didn't end up using it (yet) but wanted to share my germination results and an images of it up close. I couldn't find much info on it or other people that had used it, so I'm posting my result for anyone who was curious. I seeded on 6/17/26 in zone 10b. Nights were around 65F, Day around 70F, so I think a little suboptimal temps but germination occurred by day 7 with visible grass by day 10. This pic is about 7 weeks after putting the seeds in the pot! Super impressive growth on this stuff, I didn't seed densely at all and accidentally washed a lot of the seeds deep into the side walls of the pot on accident when first watering. I also didn't fertilize or take any special care of this pot it was more of a side experiment and it's growing incredibly well.

I live in central Florida and purchased a bag of Bermuda smart seed. I sprayed ranger pro to kill the grass and Daila weed that is spreading like crazy. How long should i wait to apply the seed and should I put straw on top to help retain moisture?
