Put down Bermuda seed (La Prima) roughly 3-4 weeks ago. About a 20,000 sq ft area. Coming in nicely. At this point I haven’t put down any fertilizer to help it along. When should I put fertilizer down on it? And what kind? The area does have some weeds coming up also. Figured I’ll wait and treat once the Bermuda is more established?

You can put down any “starter” fertilizer. Something around 20-20-10 would be good. As far as weeds, you’ll have to live with them for now unless you want to hand weed. Don’t spray any herbicide until next year at the earliest.

Enjoy watching it grow!

When the nukes come and it's all roasted, all that will be left are roaches, kudzu, and bermuda. Fertilize if you want. All I do is try to keep it out of places I don't want it to grow.

La prima is common bermuda although an improved variety. There will be differences in the look but they will be hardly noticeable. Go ahead and clear the old common out. I agree with tif on the fert. Even a triple 13 would work.
