Bermuda Winter Over Seeding

Is it possible to do before a pre emergent, still put down pre em and get results? Guess that's a dumb question but curious as to what others have done. If I want grass in the winter, do I just have to bite the bullet with weeds?

Therein lies your problem. You need to apply pre-emergent done before winter weed seeds germinate for max effective control of but then cool season grasses like rye won’t effectively germinate until the soil cools to a temperature that some winter weed seeds germinate - like Poa annua.

I’d like to do the same as you but don’t b/c I place the winter weed control at a higher priority than a green winter lawn. But I’d like to hear other’s opinion - maybe I’m missing something as well - perhaps there is a brief/narrow window where this can be done.

No PRE option that is safe for ryegrass overseed. Any perennial ryegrass seed with good germ should do fine. Like everything else seed cost more this year. Ewing irrigation in W Monroe has a ‘Birdie’ that is good but $168 a bag. Tractor supply and others have perennial varieties around $92 or so a bag. Oct 15-Nov 15 optimum time for overseed. Have been pricing for baseball field I maintain for small private school. Anything having to do with turf care is going up $$$$$

Badass dogs. My old man is 11 and still wants to hunt. I have to shut him down to save him from himself.

3 and 11 for us. The 11 year old is still a beast.

Lost interest in hunting them but they stay active as hell. Instincts and athleticism are incredible.
