i cant wait to see this. 8 feet high out of 12 inch pipe? i bet you can hear that. wow nellie.

thats the sound like some serious sucking, i mean blowing.

JET, i have always heard that the rye will prevent germination...but i really dont have experience with overseeding rye or with those texass conditions. and i spose its starting to get pretty warm down that way. and dont really know bermuda, i have done dwarf buffalo ($$$) and dwarf tall fescue ($), and of those the dwarf tall fescue is the way to go, but getting tired of that now. and since i cant see pictures, dont know how shorter warm season grasses would go, but that would be choice fo natural low maintenance wildlife ground cover just everything. you know stuff like sporabulus, little blue stem, grama grass, and maybe there are some others in your area. i will scout bermuda, what type of rye do you have in there now?
