Question:
My St. Augustine is suffering badly from the extreme heat and lack of water. I am living by the watering rules at once per week but we are about to go into Stage 3. I am considering overseeding one section of the lawn in particular with common Bermuda. This grass was planted 15 years ago on only about 2-3 inches of soil without any amendments. In other words it was planted almost directly on limestone.

Answer:
Right now I would not do anything other than try to keep what grass you have alive. Certainly it is not the time to try to start Bermuda from seed. Unless you are willing to bring in enough top soil to bring the average depth up to about 6 inches, you should consider plants or hardscape other than grass.
