re: Is a reel mower worth it?

you guys are planting Bermuda lawns then adding chemicals to make it not grow?

It still grows but typically will spread more horizontally than vertically when using PGR. It also helps reduce seed heads (can be unsightly).

How low are you cutting now? How low do you want to cut?

There's no doubt that reel mowed Bermuda is tough to beat from an anesthetic standpoint - just know it takes a lot of time and commitment. And the lower you cut, the more often you have to cut...even when using plant growth regulator (PGR).

I'm going to disagree with this.

Agreed. I think he knows he has sort of a niche business and charges accordingly.

Pretty confident this is what it is and I had this as well.

You’ll have to mow 3 times a week but it will be emerald in color.

Yeahhhhh.....I'm not mowing 30K SF 3 times a week. :lol:

I'll have to quit my full time job to do that, especially with trying to fit that in between rains, etc.

You have to cut it that often even if it's under regulation via PGR?

I have 30K SF of Tifway 419 so I'm always looking for the most economical and best product. I've never applied that type of fert before so I'm a little apprehensive about trying it out.

Is this what you use?

Also, are there any pre-cautions when applying, i.e. you need to water it in right away to avoid any turf burn?

Of course whenever I see it I hit it.

I find this is pretty crucial with ANY weeds but definitely with VBW.
If you just need a backlap you can do it yourself pretty easily. YouTube has a ton of videos on how to do it.

Possibly looking at doing a cruise out of NOLA

If I'm doing a cruise out of NOLA and had to choose between Carnival, NCL, and Royal Caribbean, I would be picking a 7-day NCL or RC. Full transparency I have never sailed RC but have done a ton of NCL cruises (have status) and really enjoy that line.

I go heavy pre-emergent on my border and since my neighbors don’t even know what that is, I go about 3 feet into their yard with it.

Same. After a few seasons, there's definitely a noticeable difference in weeds no longer creeping over.
