Fertilizer etc.? Stay-green from Lowe's. Kinda limited on this cr@p grass.
I have TIFWAY 419 bermuda grass, i believe Texas A&M had something to do with its development and its great, your in Florida so you need to stay away from blue grass and other fescues as they like the colder climates. Alot of people grow st. augustine in Florida too, but i really really love that tifway its kind of a fine stiff blade grass that does really well in the full sun and is big on golf courses and sports fields. But it all depends on how much money and time you want to put in it, zoysia grass is really nice and really expensive (to me at least). As for the fertilizer i would look for someplace other than lowes, a tractor supply or the best would be a local feedstore is where i get my fertilizer, its just better than the lowes consumer stuff.
