I'm in Plano, TX and I was getting ready to resod with Bermuda. Seemed the way to go after seeing multiple threads here about Bermuda and how hard it is to kill and how it's a much better grass for NTX than St Augustine, but I just read in Neil Sperry's weekly newsletter that Bermuda in N TX is showing signs of Take All Root Rot. My lawn died over the past year(freezes, drought etc) and I suspect it was Take All Root Rot, so it's now in my soil right? Am I just wasting time and money resodding with Bermuda? Will it also get Take All Root Rot?

I have splotches in mine and I'm in North Louisiana. It is filling back in nicely though.

Tarr can affect Bermuda but it’s very rare. So rare that I have never seen it.

Love his stuff on gardening, but he knows next to nothing about lawncare.

I saw your post on TLF. Funny guys...
It seems like TARR is problematic where soil is very high in ph??

Good luck!
