[QUOTE="kjm, post: 1035340, member: 20819"] I agonized over the same stuff too. During the drought my bahia pastures looked like somebody set fire to them. There was nothing there to eat. Some common burmuda came up on its own. I finally opted to sprig Tifton 85. Best money I ever spent on grass. I fertilized it like the Aggies say to do in the first year. This year I have put nothing on it but sunshine and it is thick, green and outperforming bahia X10. I can't grow more land, so I focus on growing more grass on what I have. I bet I can double the stocking rates on Tifton. I hear Coastal is similar and I will experiment with Coastal next. I will not seed anything again. BTW- I paid $145 an acre for the Tifton sprigging. I did the disking and prep work myself. Sprigger came out and loaded the machine and sprigged. When he got done the ground was nice and smooth. Two weeks later I had grass popping out of the sand, and a year later, it was almost weed-like. If you give it some fertilizer, I swear you can watch it grow. [/QUOTE]
