[QUOTE="BC, post: 1746837, member: 67"] Your soil is on the borderline for needing lime for bermuda grass. 5.7 or 5.8 is the critical level. With just 2 pair, I would forego the fertilizer but would spray for weeds. Since you have some clover, consider using something like Weedmaster (2,4-D + banvel) after the clover has gone to seed (let the seed heads dry and when the seeds separate when you rub them between the palms of your hands, it is safe to spray). Weedmaster has no or very little residual so planting small seeded things this fall should be safe. It depends on how much mesquite you have on which control method to use (broadcast or individual plant treatment) and what herbicides to use. As to rotational grazing with bermuda, you want to be able to graze down to about 4 inch height and then rest that paddock for 24 to no more than 28 days. [/QUOTE]
