What are some good resources for a calendar, watering schedules, weed control, fertilizer times etc.? I googled some things but couldn't find much worth my while. I'm in Victoria and have mostly common bermuda.

pre-emergent herbicides: late Sept, early March edit: there's a more accurate description for weeds on the link above.
mowing/water depends.
B1-83 also lives down there and has excellent advice, so you might google search for some of his posts.

I think B1-83 has bigger things to deal with.
exactly, which is why I said google his posts and not email him directly.

Randy Lemmon. Followed his guide in both Dallas an San Antonio and grass was outstanding.

Is there anything herbicide that targets bermuda only while leaving St A alone?
liquid atrazine. few weeks before application, mow high & water well, get the St Aug going well, then apply the atrazine.
May take repeat foliar applications but atrazine will take out the bermuda in St Augustine.

yes, marketed as IMAGE.
lol, that's what I use on the ******* nutsedge, but never knew it was just atrazine. It does work though.
Image has multiple formulations. One is atrazine. Have to read the label to see which one.

IMAGE for St. Augustine = Atrazine
IMAGE Kills Nutsedge = Imazaquin
IMAGE Kills Crabgrass II = Sulfentrazone & Quinclorac

Cool thanks
Anybody had luck with Scott's Bonus S getting rid of bermuda? I did a second treatment yesterday. The first a couple of months ago didn't do much to the bermuda.
Dry products such as Scott's Bonus S fertilizer + atrazine herbicide isn't going to be effective in killing the bermuda IMO. Liquid spray to the foliage will get it (may take more than 1 application).
It took care of one small spot, but the majority is still there. Oh well, it was the last of the bag, and the last time I use Bonus S. As of today, I'm offically on the Lemmon schedule.
The fertilizer/herbicide guides on Lemmons site are they for St. Augustine or are they safe for bermuda also?
I believe they are safe for both. At the top of his informative schedule it says for st Augustine, Bermuda, and zoysia
quote:
For southern grasses including: St. Augustine, Bermuda and Zoysia
Thanks. Guess I fail at reading comprehension.
