Planting Instructions
New Seeding Method 1
Prepare your lawn for seeding by tilling then smoothing and raking the lawn to the point of having a smooth firm seedbed. Plant 15 lbs. of Pennington’s Princess 77 Bermudagrass Seed & Mulch mixture with Bio-170™ per 1,000 square feet. The seed and mulch are blended to give the correct seeding rate for each of the three components.
Lightly rake the seedbed to cover the seed and mulch no deeper than 1/8 inch. Mulch the seeded area lightly with wheat straw if desired. Water daily for 14 days keeping the seedbed moist at all times. The bermudagrass plants will emerge, and over a period of one growing season, should form a sod. On poor soils or in unfavorable growing conditions, it may take two growing seasons to completely form a sod.
New Seeding Method 2
Spray the present grass on the lawn with a non-selective herbicide labeled for lawn use. Wait approximately 7 days to make certain all grass is killed. On spots not completely dead, re-spray with herbicide. Wait approximately 7 days after the final spraying and plant Pennington’s Princess 77 Bermudagrass Seed & Mulch mixture with Bio-170™ per 1,000 square feet, making certain the seed and mulch are spread evenly across the area. Aerate the area thoroughly using a checkerboard type pattern. Using a standard lawn mower, mow the dead grass close to the ground allowing the clippings to remain on the ground as a mulch covering the seed. Water daily for 14 days keeping the seedbed moist at all times.
