[Arid_gardener] Re: Hybrid Bermudagrass not Greening

[Olin Miller]

Bermudagrass lawns have only started to green up nicely the past few weeks
when the temps rise regularly into the 90s.  So give it a few more days.  As
to watering, every three days or twice weekly should be enough.  For
scheduling and amount see

Fertilizing monthly when the grass is growing should be enough.  Fertilizing
when he grass is dormant just wastes fertilizer and could burn the roots.
