By now, those wanting to plant winter lawns should have cut water to their Bermuda grass. In preparation for planting winter Rye, follow these simple steps:
- In the last week of September, cut your water back on the Bermuda grass, allowing it to die out.
- Once October rolls around, you should begin to see night time temperatures in the 60's, that is your sign to get ready.
- Thatch your lawn to clean old Bermuda and dead grass.
- When night time temperatures are consistently in the 60's, plant your Rye.
- Do not forget to turn on the water and keep the seed (Rye) moist. A dry seed is a dead seed.
