The Myths and Dangers of Burning Dormant Bermuda Grass

Q: What is the advantage, if any, to burning a Bermuda grass lawn when dormant?

You might get an unanticipated conversation with your insurance person—not pleasant. My father was an insurance agent for 35 years. He had clients who set carport, siding, shed, car on fire while burning lawn. Dry grass + small breeze = fire quickly beyond control. Claims that burning adds nutrients are false.
