    3 should be ok for Bermuda. Any lower than that, and you will definitely start to see damage. The first time you cut it short will almost always damage it. The trick is to keep it maintained short. When it gets tall it tends to lose vigor down at the bottom, so cutting it short almost "resets" it. If you keep it maintained short, then it will stay green after the cut.

    The seed heads will have dried up, and fallen off. This will signal the end of seeding. Seeding is not necessary in most areas, as they will spread by stolon just as fast, or faster than by seed.

    Yes, regular white table sugar is a good lawn fertilizer.
    Sugar feeds beneficial microbes, insects, and worms
    It won’t cause allergic reactions in people or pets
    Sugar will fortify grass while discouraging weeds
    It is easy to apply
    It is cheap
    Sugar will not only make your lawn green … but ‘green’, that is free from chemicals that damage the soil, our water supply, and ourselves.

    Greg, I recommend that you complete your herbicide application to kill the weeds, give it a couple of weeks or a month, then consider seeding with a winter rye grass. Seed your bermuda in the spring when it will get off to a better start than it would at this time of year.
