I live in arizona and have rye grass in winter and bermuda in summer. Would this work for both?

I don't plant rye in winter, don't waste my time with it....but I do have bermuda and you MUST use a reel mower. I love my great states. I mow at 0.5 inches. Do some research on how to care for bermuda. Read the bermuda bible. Bermuda gets more dense when cut lower, it changes how the grass blooms and grows. You can have close to a golf course like yard with a reel mower. Golf courses use them and for their greens they use extremely sophisticated reel mowers with electronically leveling blades and many many blades. Reels are awesome.

Oh and before you think its ez mowing so low....its not. great lawns take great effort. When you mow like I do, at 0.5, expect to mow every other day or a few times a week when in peak growing season. Lower you mow, more often it is done. There is a great article which discusses why....and the 1/3 rule....google it

I am not sure what BERMUDA grass is but I can tell you that these long handled shears will cut anything that regular fiskar shears will cut only you don't have to bend over to do it.... sweet... Hope that helps....

Yes it would, but save yourself some money and buy a bulk roll of inexpensive, lower grade (like Grade 10) cheesecloth. It will still let your lawn breathe, let the sun in, and keep the birds away, but at a substantially lower price. Dale - Brighenti Culinary support

It is mostly Rye grass. It grew good at first but it starting turning brown the hotter it got.

I live in the desert in AZ and use this mower to cut weeds not lawn. It is used two or three times during the Summer season and with the cost of air conditioning during this time of the year, the cost of using the mower are indistinguishable. All I can said is that it is cheaper than paying someone to come in and cut weeds by hand. Thanks

my soil is sandy and it seems to grow well here. we had a dry summer and it did better than the grass did. I cannot say for sure but I would give it a try.

Yes the Trimec Classic is labeled to be used on both warm and cool season grasses like Fescue for broadleaf weed control

I'm sorry, but don't know. It turned my Bermuda grass brown. I won't use it again.

Yes! However, dichondra is likely to have an insect that eats out the new buds; if so, the lawn I had was no longer competitive to weeds and grasses such as bermuda. That was 30 years ago.

I have used this product on centipede grass. I does appear to work well killing wild Bermuda grass. However, before I would swear by this product I want to see how my yard fairs out over the upcoming spring/ summer.

Crabgrass generally doesn't emerge in MA until the soil warms in June-July - I would apply this in the May-June timeframe. April is the time to apply broadleaf weed control fertilizers.

We gave up on the Dichondra. We're in North Georgia backing up to a wooded gully. I think we're zone 7. The Dichondra grows very well in the spring and fall. It does OK during the winter unless the temps get extremely cold -- 8 degrees -- like they did last year. Then it browns out. The problem is that during the hot, wet, humid summer it's overrun by crabgrass and the bermuda grass. Weed & Feed will kill the Dichondra. We tried Grass B Gone. It killed the grass but only for awhile. The Dichondra browned out from the Grass B Gone. It's very pretty if you can get it to do well in a sunny spot. We couldn't keep it going and it's too much trouble to overseed all the time. Hope this helps?

I'm not 100% sure, but I would guess no, since zoysia and Bermuda are similar grasses. I'd be careful. To be sure contact the company.

I'd trust the label. I had bermuda grass in a flower garden. I sprayed liberally from 1" or 2" and no plants were harmed save the bermuda grass. I sprayed in the Fall to good effect; 90% of the Bermuda grass was gone come Spring.

The answer is.... Don't waste your time with these it will grow rye grass... Very very very slowly. A $13 60w CFL can grow anything way better than this unit.(I've tried)
