I had to dig up a dead bush yesterday, so I will have some        MP> seeding to do here soon. I had better do it soon, too! Once May gets        MP> here, it will often be above 80ish.              Not sure what area you're from, but here most lawns are Kentucky Blue Grass /       Perennial Rye Blend, or Turf Style Tall Fescue. Both can have a germination       rate of 30 days, so if you get in the 80's in May, definitely look at the time       it takes for the seed your buying to germinate. I have a few patches to fix       as well, I tend to use my sod cuttings from edging my flower beds, and just       stomp them into place to fill in any bare areas. One area is too big, from       dog we had, that I'll have to wait until fall to fix and will require tilling,       adding soil, seeding, straw, starter fertilizer, and fencing it off with       temporary fence, to keep the dog and kids off of it. But it's been that way       for too many years so I'm kinda getting used to it. I may just throw some       spare flagstone down to hide it for this season, since it's the main walk way       off our patio to the kids play area. It's been a real pain to get growing,       and stay growing. I've been dealing with it yearly and can get grass growing,       but it dies off by July/August.               -tG              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/03/16 (Windows/32)        * Origin: theunderground.us:10023 (1:227/702)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/101 424 426 428 664 700 1016 1017 249/206 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 322/757       PATH: 227/702 229/426           |
