Bahia Grass Spring Overseed.

- This is a more detailed look at how I overseed my Bahia every year. This is annual maintenance. It’s also the only way to thicken a Bahia lawn and battle weed intrusion. Comment below if I missed something or if you have more questions. Conventional wisdom leads to failure. Don’t follow the herd or you will be disappointed!

I didn’t mention how pre emergent herbicides can affect your overseed. I’ll go in depth in a video on weed control soon. Here’s a link to a short clip about pre emergents and why they don’t work for me. Check it out!

Please keep doing this videos on Bahia in florida. I'm teacher and have to do DIY for my house and just finished installing a new irrigation system and laid Argentine Bahia (I'm in melbourne beach), appreciate you sharing these tips!
I just moved from Maryland to the western Orlando area. I am very particular about my lawn and had the tall rescue varieties in MD. My new home is soded with bahia grass and will need lots of work to get it looking good. This information is very informative and helpful. Thank you.
I also live in south Florida. I recently started my journey with Bahia grass. This is very important information for a rookie like me. Thank you ❤
Happy to help. More to come. Watering, feeding, mowing, damage repair all coming soon.
I appreciate the info as it has been said many times in other comments you are the only one who talks about Bahia grass, I have spent a lot of time trying to fix my backyard that is all Bahia and haven’t been able to fix it, I didn’t really know how to treat it cuz I couldn’t find any other channel that talks about Bahia, I will start my journey again thanks to you !! Thanks a lot great channel keep the videos coming up! 🎉🎉🎉
@@gonzalorodriguezostos451 thanks very much. I had the same frustration. I’ll do what i can to help. Good luck!
Recently bought a house in central FL and I was so disappointed when I came and saw the Bahia. I thought all of Florida had St.Aug and I’d never heard of Bahia. I decided to work with it, fed it with fertilizer, RGS and kelp, it was thick and lush and it looked absolutely gorgeous all my neighbors were asking for tips. Now 22 months later, even though I’m still caring for it the same, it has become so thin - I didn’t realize it needed to be over seeded. It’s funny how Bahia won’t spread or thicken into itself but spread like wildfire into mulch beds.
Yeah it’s a different creature. It declines naturally as it gets older. It’s not meant to be a residential lawn, honestly. As pasture grass, it wants to be a foot high and dropping manure-covered seeds on itself all summer. Making it a lawn is a struggle sometimes but pays off in the winter when we mostly leave it be. Good luck!
For what it’s worth. I appreciate the info. Thank you
Hope you keep making more videos this is the only channel I found that talks so in-depth about Bahia grass 🙏🏻
I’ll do my best, boss. I have a few things in the hopper for future videos. Thanks for hanging out.
Really appreciate the info. I have a large acreage property in Louisiana that is 90% Bahia. We do bale it for hay but it’s the nice lawn around the house as well. Interested to see more!
🔥 🔥 great info!
Glad it was helpful!
great info and your lawn looks great, not a lot of video's on bahia at all, it's largely ignored but i'm getting ready to put some down at a new place after ages of st augustine (burbs of tampa) and find this series super helpful to try to get up to speed
Glad to help and thanks for the compliment. It’s a struggle sometimes but winter is my payoff when I stow the mower and still have a decent looking yard with only occasional trimming.
Thank you! for the info in north central Florida and I’ve been looking for a channel on just bahia grass
Happy to help!
I’ve also learned that Bahia is slow to germinate. The exception is Tifquick, it popped in 10 days this year and it is 3” in 30 days with significant daily rainfall. But it is definitely a pasture grass.
That’s great. Where did you find the TiffQuick?? I thought about doing a video on all the lesser known varieties.
overseeds itself just mulching the seed stalks lol.... at least here in the south
@@kmain0 if you live in a residential neighborhood, letting it get tall enough to seed itself can be problematic both because of HOAs and because it’s tough enough to mow as-is, let alone when it’s 10” or more in height. Pastures mostly self-seed, true. Lawns not so much.
@@BahiaGrass_Boss someone should tell my neighbors that lmao
pretty cool channel.
Thanks very much. I do what I can!
I'm curious if you do anything different for late summer early fall overseeding? It's about that time of year and Im thinking about giving it a shot. Also you need a video on fertilizing 😃
Fert video will come. It’ll be short. I don’t do much. lol main thing about overseeding in fall is to try and time it to be EITHER far enough ahead of the cooler weather so that it gets a couple of inches of growth before temps are regularly low (3-4 months, ish) OR do it later so the cooler temps send the seed into dormancy before it sprouts. Dormant seeding will have a lower germination rate but will start working as soon as soil temps are right.
Thank you for the great info. I live in central Florida and have Bahia grass as well. Question: What do you suggest about dealing with birds eating the new grass seed? Will laying down the thin layer of peat help with that?
Thanks for watching! I have not had a problem with birds but I imagine that “hiding” them with that peat can’t hurt. Also, Bahia seeds are SO tiny I imagine they don’t attract much attention. Great question!Good luck and let me know how it goes.
Thanks for the info. New to Bahia grass, but found out early on that following the herd wasn't helping me. Grateful to find someone with experience with Bahia. Question: have you tried mixing with annual rye for a cover in balding areas, I've had good success doing this. Thanks again
@@garyhorton4619 I have not tried that specifically. I’ll look into it. I have seeded completely failed areas with cool season grasses to get me through the winter and when our summer temps climb, they just cooked. Probably works well for yards farther north than mine. Great tip and thanks for sharing!
What setting do you have the spreader on brother
There are settings listed on the bag but I don’t really follow them. Posting a short to answer your question tonight. Check back later, full answer inbound.
Would using an overseeder machine be better then just broadcasting it?
You know, honestly didn’t know it was a thing…. Wonder if I can rent one around here. I’ll look into it!
How do you feel about dethatching before overseeding with bahia? I saw that was recommended and it seemed to really tear my lawn up a lot worse than other grasses so should I skip that from now on and overseed only?
To me it has been counter productive because of how it tears things up, like you say. I did it once and not since. Bahia just doesn’t recover from damage like other grasses do so, to me, I’m working against myself if I do that. Bahia clippings break down pretty readily so I don’t think it’s even really necessary.
