Hancock's Spring and Summer Bermuda Grass Seed Mix contains 75% Un-Hulled and Coated Bermuda grass seed and 25% Browntop Millet. The Browntop Millet is added to assist in fast ground coverage, retaining soil moisture, and preventing soil and seed erosion. The Browntop Millet will also quickly establish an effective germination environment for the permanent Bermuda grass. The Browntop Millet will germinate in 5 to 7 days with adequate soil moisture and grow for approximately 65 days. The permanent Bermuda grass will establish beneath the protective Browntop Millet's coverage during the Browntop Millet's 65-day growing cycle. It is very important to keep the newly seeded areas watered and mowed to prevent the Browntop Millet from overcrowding or shading out the young Bermuda Grass seedlings. Please refer closely to the planting guide provided with your order to insure a successful seeding and establishment experience.

Remove all old vegetation to prepare a clean seedbed by means of a rake (lawn) or disc (pasture). Drag or rake area to loosen and level any hard or uneven spots if needed.

Broadcast seed at recommended rate. Drag, rake or roll lightly to cover the seed no more than 1/8 in. below surface. If you are overseeding an existing lawn or pasture, it is essential to mow existing grass low and incorporate seed 1/4 in. into soil for best results.

For lawns, apply 5-10 lbs. of 16-04-08 slow release fertilizer per 1000 sq. ft., four times a year (late Spring, Mid-summer, late Summer, and early Fall) for the first two years. Apply 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. two times (mid-Summer, late Summer) a year after a fully established lawn has been accomplished. For pasture fertilization, Apply 250 lbs. of 16-04-08 slow release fertilizer per acre in late Spring, mid-Summer and early Fall. Animals that are grazing will damage the Bermuda grass if the pasture is not fertilized annually. The grass must be provided with adequate nutrients to compete with the animals.

Apply lawn irrigation for approximately 30 minutes every evening until soil is damp, and germination has occurred. Irrigate newly-seeded lawns every other day until the grass reaches 6 in., then water recommended 3 times a week if needed.
