How big is the common Bermuda area?

It looks like Bonus S main active ingredient is Atrazine, which harms Bermuda. Have you noticed any yellowing? If not, I’d say you can push growth.

Push growth by mowing at 1” every 2-3 days and throwing down 46-0-0 fertilizer every 2-4 weeks.
Put down 1 lb of nitrogen per thousand sq ft per month for maximum growth.

You can try seeding Bermuda in about three months. There will be plenty of time for it to take off. Though, whatever you seed might look a bit different than what you have now.

I’d say the common Bermuda represents about half of the yard, and in some places, it’s the only grass growing. Other areas you can see it beginning to establish along with what’s left over of the st Aug and other weeds.

There is some spotty yellowing but not everywhere.

Tell me if I am doing this math correctly. Say I bought 50-0-0 (just for discussion sake). If I have an area I am working on of 3000 square feet, I would buy/use 6 pounds of that fertilizer bag every 2-4 weeks? Do I have that right? Thanks
