I've never had a problem with Pennington Kentucky 31. At Lowe's or Sam's Club, it runs around $54 for a 50 lb bag.

I have tried that in the past didn't get very good results. Of course, I struggle winning the grass battle. I am to the point that I feel I need to just buy the most expensive and hope for the best.

Crabgrass is pretty good I hear.
Easy to grow.

**pr_capone** · 09-24-2009, 07:17 PM

What kind of grass are you trying to plant?

Fescue?

Bermuda?

Zoysia?

In the midwest, hardly anything grows more reliably than Buffalo grass. Its requires very little attention and hardely ever needs mowed.

It's getting kinda late in the year to be seeding.

RJ · 09-24-2009, 07:41 PM

That's what I was thinking. Will seeding now have any benefit next spring?

I don't know, if I seed in the fall I usually do it late Aug or early Sept, that way it has time to get established before winter. I prefer to do it in the spring.

Early fall and early spring are the best times to seed. The temperature is perfect and there's plenty of precipitation.

If you overseed now (this batch will germinate without any problem) and then overseed again next spring, you should have very nice results.

Such as, drinking Dom Perignon ’53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs.
