A friend planted 50 acres of seeded native grass last year, he did all land preparations the correct way , soil sample and fertilizer, it was a failure because of a drought year, the Johnson grass did real well ( probably a factor in failure) . The Johnson grass is now shoulder high and thick as can be and winter dead.
He is a city man , who needs coaxing in the right direction, he has decided he wants to prepare the ground again ( mow, plow and fertilizer and plant a seeded Bermuda grass) I believe the Johnson grass will come back with a vengeance and choke the seeded Bermuda grass out, I think even if he sprigged it will choke the sprigged Bermuda out. It is too late to use herbicide. He is determined he will do it this spring. Has anyone planted seed or sprigged in such a situation and what method was used to set the Johnson grass back? How would you prepare the ground to plant this spring? :help:
