With bermuda you can use fertilizer monthly if you want to have the greenest lawn on the block. If you don't care so much about being the best, you can back off to seasonal fertilizing with a slow release coated synthetic or a high protein organic. Once bermuda goes dormant, you can discontinue using synthetic fertilizers, but the soil still benefits from the use of organic fertilizers.

Come spring you will have a flush of weeds before the real grass greens up. Hold off watering and using synthetic fertilizer until the bermuda greens up. Then, after you mow the bermuda for the second time, start your synthetic fertilizer regimen. If you start an organic program, fertilize at the VERY FIRST sign that you have ONE green bermuda blade somewhere in your lawn. Organic fertilizers take a little time to kick in, so get the jump on the grass by watching for the early signs.
