What did you throw away?!
Are you open to a manual? Got mine for just $115 on Amazon

It was just a manual.
I just hate paying for stuff twice.
I'm a 1 and done type.
Today I used an edger,weedeater and mower that are 17 years old.
Going to film some football this afternoon with a camera that is 15 years old.
Will drive to the game in a car that is 22 years old and when I get home I will wash my clothes in a washing machine that is 22 years old.

I'm not very good for the economy.

Are you planning on doing a Reelcnc conversion?
I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting the Scott's 18inch and the reelcnc conversion with 11lb roller.

Nah, I'm gonna keep it simple for now.

How's everyone doing this season? How are the conversions going?

Hey, given your dive into this, I figured you would be the one to ask...is there a chemical that kills Bermuda but not St. Aug?

Recognition herbicide paired with Fusilade II

Probably the only option and probably not cheap.

If you have flowerbeds you shouldn’t. Bermuda takes root in flowerbeds and is IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of. You have to dig deep to get the root out. ALL of it. If you don’t have flowerbeds then go for it.

I hate Bermuda because i have beds, and when one little strand gets in my beds i go nuts. I don’t know where it comes from- the neighborhood i guess. (I have a mix of Augustine and centipede)

Lot of talk here on the subject, it's pretty basic, whatever grass you grow requires maintenance, if you like weeds in your yard just cut it and do nothing else, you will be rewarded with a shite ton of weeds

Bermuda is a different animal all together, to look nice it takes more work and money than others, I use a reel mower and prefer a green/fairway look, just my choice, some of us just don't care what our yard looks like, whatever type you choose will require some work just my 2 cents

Only way to get rid of bermuda is to dig it up and that ain't a 100% guarantee in 2022 I nuked one side of my bermuda to re sod every blade was gone down to dirt, i missed my opportunity to re-sod and in 2 months that side of the yard completely recovered,

Just take care of your natural edge once a week like all the guys on YouTube.
