[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 69362, member: 637"] At work, we have a county extension man from a neighboring county, that works part time. I was talking to him about the different bermudas. He says that he has seen so many differnet kinds growing in this area. He was talking about the "World Feeder" brand. He said that the man that started this, found some bermuda in his yard and decided to start selling the seed from this patch. What he said it boils down to is that it is all a common type bermuda from different areas and some have different traits like any other kind of plant. Some like it dry, some like it cool, etc.... Asking him what would he plant, he wanted to know if I wanted his honest opinion? I told him yes, and he said go to Co-op and buy common bermuda seed and gave me details of how to prepare the ground. He said that if I did a soil test and fertilized it after each cutting with 100 units of nitrogen, that there wouldn't be a hair's difference in the nutrients and I would have spent a lot less than what someone says they have developed with a fancy name, selling it for ten prices because they convince the public that is better than what grows in their area. I have always valued this man's opinion and he has always been honest. He also was telling me about an "Equip" program where the county will pay 65% of what it cost to sew the field if I leave it for five years. [/QUOTE]
