BERMUDAGRASS: Common vs. Hybrid // T-Nex Results

Common Bermudagrass and Hybrid Bermudagrass are vastly different. I got over the differences between these two grass types. Find out the cost differences, growth differences and more. There is also a huge misunderstanding of what hybrid means when it comes to turfgrass. I explain what makes a hybrid a hybrid and get past all the misinformation that is going around the lawncare community regarding seeded bermudagrass.

This episode was amazingly informative.

[@johnhanson3693]

best examples I've seen of the effect and benefits of growth regulator on different bermuda grass.

[@ReelLowDad]

Thank you!

[@johnhamilton9229]

This video in my opinion is one of your best. Informative with easy to understand presentation. I greatly enjoyed it.

[@ReelLowDad]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

[@ericg5877]

Awesome video man. Everyone talks about how "once you have bermuda you just can't get rid of it" and sadly my case is - bermuda just won't grow on my lawn. I've tried overseeding my Bahiagrass lawn (super patchy) with hybrid Bermuda but only a few spots got a grip and germinated. I waited 4 weeks and it just couldn't withstand that first mow so it's back to square one.

[@rodgersandrodgers8191]

Finally. A video that explains it in a way I can understand it. I currently have a mixture of all types of grass. I live in a warm or transition area. Las Vegas Nevada. I would like to have a nice lawn. It's mowed every week but only once. There are bare spots that just will not fill in. I am working on trying to make this lawn nice enough so that the HOA gets off my back. Is there any particular Bermuda and that will over a few years crowd out the others. I don't mind spending a few dollars for these. I just want my lawn to be worthy of where I live. If you can tell me a hybrid that would really work for that I would appreciate it. Keep up the great videos and I will keep watching. Thank you.

[@Lanierkayakfishing]

Great info, you can really tell the difference, what variety of bermuda was used around 2000? My lawn looks like common except an area where a landscaping bed was eliminated. You can tell a huge difference in density between the newer and older section.

[@darbeeroyal8503]

Love ya video mate, keep up the good work. Cheers from Oz 👍🏼 ⛳️ 😎

Thanks 👍

Great information!! 👍

[@dane8122]

I've been in the process of converting a section of my yard to bimini bermuda and this year I didn't get any crabgrass preemergent out. Needless to say, the crabgrass is running wild with all the N I'm throwing on the yard. I know it won't win the war since it will die out after the first frost, but do you recommend trying to control it at this point? It's everywhere. If I try to control it with drive xlr8 or something similar, it won't disintegrate, it'll only turn red or orange. Hopefully I can get your thoughts.

[@cmarquez733]

Awesome. You will like the Yukon. Best color of all seeded varieties

[@92boostedh22]

Knowledge! Thank you!!

[@ReelLowDad]

Knowledge is power. Never stop learning.

[@nestorlugo.]

So judging by the photos the ones treated with regulator look thicker and more dense. Is it true that what they lost in length they gained girth right?

[@arielrodriguez6980]

I have been wanting to seed my bare areas but I do not know if I have common or hybrid.

[@JakeMohl]

The dry spot your yard gave mine is forever. 👍

You're welcome

[@lrieke8300]

When did you overseed the bermuda with KBG and what variety KGB do you suggest? Did you overseed any TTF (partially shaded areas) also?

[@ReelLowDad]

I did my seeding in early to mid September. Here is a full playlist of all my bluemuda. Bluemuda: kzbin.info/aero/PL0v7dvuQxN8t426PgQwbqzum1_HUBKePe

[@ze_german2921]

My developer has planted common Bermuda, it hasn’t filled in completely , looks and feels like walking on copper wire strands. Can I kill it and re-seed with hybrid seed, like Monaco, BlackJack? Will the common come back and take over?

[@92boostedh22]

This is kind of off subject but since you mentioned the Bluemuda, can you still sand level the lawn with Bluemuda? I know the summer scalp and sand level is popular after the 4th of July weekend.

[@ReelLowDad]

Sure can. I haven't gotten around to it yet. Best time would be late spring.

[@92boostedh22]

@@ReelLowDad I followed your Bluemuda guid last year and it came out great. I had an awesome full KGB lawn Feb-May and the Bermuda grass is taking over in our 106 degree weather here in El Paso, Tx. So maybe it’s best to wait until next spring? I’m curious to see how well the KBG comes back this fall. I don’t want to mess it up. I really prefer the feeling and look of the KBG

[@hippo-potamus]

Would you say that a good compromise would be to take the sod square, cut it up into plugs and space those out?

[@ReelLowDad]

It sure would. Lots of people have done that. The amount of labor though is huge but comes at a cost savings

[@wilsonline90]

what would be the best variety of common Bermuda today? Considering color on top, maybe some shade tolerance, but no need for cold resistance as I'm located in South Florida. And no, I don't have Bermuda here, only ryegrass that was seeded for the winter.

[@ReelLowDad]

Arden 15 or Monaco would be the current choices. Shade tolerances are all about the same for all seeded varieties. They will need full sun.

[@coryCuc]

Did you say Arden 15 is a common bermuda grass seed? I did some research and it says it's a hybrid bermuda? Love your channel btw!

[@akshaytakarde17]

Bermuda grass seed

[@adamtousley]

Everything I’ve learned about Bermuda grass on you tube is about everywhere but So Cal. Completely different environment than most of the country. Probably closer to Bermuda environment Don’t scalp it too much in early fall. Keep it a bit longer in winter with the rains. Don’t cut it too short in summer when it’s hot. It burns the roots. Although drought tolerant you need to water frequently in the hot months if you live in the IE

[@peupeuguy310]

well said , yet to find much so cal Lawn channels , especially for Los Angeles

When you had just Yukon, what was your rate on TNEX? Thanks.

[@ReelLowDad]

0.75floz/M

[@garrettscott4094]

@@ReelLowDad thanks, I applies at .5 because I wasn't sure. But this video makes sense as to why I couldn't find a dedicated rate, because it's not a hybrid. Great video, and thanks.

[@jermaineg9937]

I was actually able to purchase some hybrid Bermuda grass seeds,

[@ReelLowDad]

Still common Bermuda and not a triploid interspecific hybrid

So how do I keep common Bermuda out of my wife's Tiff Grand lawn? I am tired of pulling it out.

[@bobzilla6618]

Goodness! You're dropping it down to the chromosome level 🤯. This is amazing! I love it! Great photos of common and hybrid bermuda comparisons. Never that about the pgr, because I am 3 years into filling in the bare spots. Transplanting and fertilizing it so it spreads. Limited budgets suck 😂

[@ReelLowDad]

Got that right.

[@reelhoss3715]

Wow. Those regulated vs unregulated pics are unreal.

[@jlu72665]

I've got common Bermuda cropping up in newly established hybrid TifGreen Bermuda. Any suggestions?

[@ReelLowDad]

Several applications of round up next year. Then let the Tif fill back in or plug it.

[@jlu72665]

@@ReelLowDad Was advised to use Ornamec?

[@ReelLowDad]

That will hurt the hybrid Bermuda as well and won't kill either right away.

[@comic_book_guy]

What do you recommend for shady areas

[@ReelLowDad]

TifGrand is the best but very hard to find. TifGrand 2 is supposed to be released soon. Best shade tolerant Bermuda at up to 75% shade coverage

[@comic_book_guy]

@@ReelLowDad thanks for the reply. It definitely seems hard to find and costly. I was thinking putting zoysia in those areas maybe next spring. Thanks again

[@tannertravis4455]

"Unless you do bluemuda." My front lawn is definitely splotchy lol

[@TheSoloAsylum]

I have a bermuda lawn, because it came in a bemuda infected Zoysia pallet of sod. I hate the stuff and now I get to rip most of my new lawn out.

[@ReelLowDad]

That sucks that you paid for zoysia and it was contaminated. Sucks not getting what you wanted. Hopefully the sod farm made it right.

[@TheSoloAsylum]

@@ReelLowDad Nope, and now I'm so annoyed I'm going to burn it down and start over. The neighbors will think I'm loosing it.

[@redtwin1968]

For seeding don't forget the cost of the increased water bill, reseeding after washout, and significant weed treatments... after all is said and done, sod is WAY cheaper than seeding in most cases.

[@richardsmith1161]

Yukon blades look a lot wider with the PGR.

[@ColonelK0rn1]

Do you find your hybrids give more seed heads than others? I really hate the seed heads that my grass throws off. They look like shit. It's made me want to visit some new construction, and steal some plugs.

[@ReelLowDad]

My TifGrand areas have not been that bad this year. It usually has more than the Yukon. MY KBG seed heads are driving me crazy.

“Like diamonds, herpes and alimony, it’s forever “😂😂😂 now I can relate

[@daleutley3292]

First time catching your video and right off the bat I disagree that Bermuda is for ever. I got rid of my common Bermuda by plugging zoysia. It choked out the bermuda

[@ReelLowDad]

That's awesome your zoysia was able to choke it out. What type of Zoysia did you go with?

It's really old type. They said it is probably a retired type of zoysia. It's beautiful. I mow it at 1 inch

[@theCastleberry]

Ain’t nobody coming near you on the knowledge your dropping on Alpha grass! But…which one do I go with to have the best looking golf course lawn?

[@ReelLowDad]

Whatever you can afford. Just remember not to mix and match.

[@tellycoleman9743]

Tahoma 31

[@tannertravis4455]

My favorite hybrid is Tif Tuf. I personally have not tried any seeded varieties, but we are selling our house and buying another one. All the ones we have looked at have lawns that will have to be nuked and re-planted. I am most likely going to go with Arden 15.

[@fxrparlour1061]

TifTuf has shown real promise in terms of a low HOC and requiring less water. TifTuf is Smart WaterMark certified in Australia - the best drought tolerant grass they've ever seen.

[@jagervolant7871]

This video makes me think HOA people really have nothing better to do… out in the country no one gives a single shit about the grass. But to each their own I guess.
