Sahara Vs Blackjack Bermuda Grass Seed
Here are some pics someone sent me of their mature blackjack, sahara, and sonoma bermuda yard. This is in the greater Raleigh area. Seed was bought at Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and I believe Lowes but can't remember the last place. I planted some Princess 77 Bermuda in nearly full sun next to a lake. I cleared the land and found the soil to be mostly red clay. I rototilled the 2000 square feet I was planting and spread about 15 cu yards of top soil. The top soil was not the highest quality and had lots of rock. I then rototilled again after the topsoil was spread. Tiftway 419 Bermuda Grass is certainly a popular Hybrid Bermuda, bred for its dark blue-green color and its thick, short growth. I was cutting a yard and thought that it was a great learning opportunity for us and that we could learn a few things from it.
