re: centipede to bermuda plan... (updated with pics 5/14/24)

At 3 weeks after seeding, when I plan to mow again, what height should I cut at? maintain?

Standard practice is one notch above scalp level.

Since my lowest setting is 1.5" as well, I think I'm going to hit my Bermuda soon with a string trimmer and then maintain 1.5" for the season.

Ive been used to cutting high (3-3.5") to keep the centipede from burning up, but I want to promote the bermuda.

Yeah, you'll have no problem doing that, especially if it gets a bit dry and especially if you keep feeding it nitrogen. The centipede won't hold up to it and the bermuda will love it.

How do you cut bermuda on lowest rotary setting (someone basically just asked your exact question).
