Bahia in yard want to start over

I had a Bahia pasture and sprigged in some st aug...kept it mowed short and over about a decade, the st aug crowded out the Bahia.

That's the exact opposite of how St Aug is recommended to be cut.

I assume he meant kept the other cut short

Here's a recent thread on bahia from the Outdoor Bd.

shite will grow on a hungry hill like nothing else.

Spray it with MSM (aka blade or manor) when temp drops below 90 and you will no longer have a bahai problem.

I'm pretty sure my husband wanted to move mainly because of Bahia in our old yard.

New yard is much smaller and Bahia free

I freaking hate Bahia

I spray killed one acre a number of years ago. Tilled it all under and started a centipede lawn from seed. (I think there's only one cultivar that can be seeded). It turned out really well, though.

Slow growing, so it didn't require frequent mowing, plus it made a really nice turf, and was thick enough that it choked out most of the non-desirable stuff.

ETA - After I killed the grass, I had the soil pH etc., tested and treated appropriately for centipedegrass.
