[QUOTE="cowtrek, post: 231428, member: 2847"] I'd go with whatever is making the most in your particular soils/climate ecotype. If everyone agreed there wouldn't be a gazillion different varieties of bermuda. Jiggs seems to be the most popular by far around here so that's what I'm going with. It always seems to look good where the T85 seems to need babying to keep it in good shape. A neighbor has Jiggs waist high where his hay rings were tho he never had anything but native grasses and bahia on his place-- stuff sprouted from the trampled cured hay! I tried a little T85 from tops, hand planted it and disked it in about ten minutes before a four inch rain and it still looked dead for the rest of the summer. It finally came in somewhat, but seems like everything else wants to outrun it. Everybody here says Jiggs is the way to go with planting tops, T85 is too slow from tops and often fails. Don't know about root sprigs. We plant tops to keep the $$$ down. Good luck! JR [/QUOTE]
