    If I am planting the seed in 160,000 square feed, what amount of seed will be needed?

    160,000 square feet is almost 4 acres! Follow the seed supplier's recommendations for the rate per square foot or per acre. Usually they will supply information for the correct amount of seed to use for the method of seeding used, such as drilling the seed with a seeding machine, broadcasting with a spreader or by hand. Most often the small seed of Bermuda grass is mixed with a sand carrier to aid in the distribution.
