Expert Gardener Tall Fescue Grass Seed Mix, for Sun to Partial Shade, 20 lb.

I live in country where the varmints (big and small) are constantly messing with my lawns by ripping holes, etc. Therefore, I frequently have to re-seed and re-grow bare spots. After much reasearch and personal experience, I have settled on this particular brand and type of grass seed from Walmart. I simply sprinkle this grass seed evenly over the bare areas and then lightly cover the seed with some Miracle-Gro® "Cactus, Palm and Citrus Soil" (a type of compost with some fertilizer in it). Keep moist for 10-14 days until you see new grass growth. Then water the lawn as you regularly would. Works great. I know from multiple applications!

I read descriptions of many types of grass before choosing Expert Gardener Tall Fescue Grass Seed Mix, for Sun to Partial Shade. I wanted to choose something that would be best for my geographic location in NC, the partial sun and shade in my yard, and the time of year that I was planting. I followed instructions exactly. My yard had been dug up after having a new septic field so it was all red clay and sand, not very good for planting anything. I smoothed the dirt down, dampened the top to hold the seed in place, spread the grass seed per the bag instructions, watered again lightly, covered it with hay, watered it again, and watered it twice a day for a week. It is already showing green grass up through the hay in only a week so I am hopeful for a beautiful yard of bright green grass soon. I planted the first week of September when temps were in the high 80s and no rain, so conditions weren't the best, but I didn't want the entire back yard of dirt so I took a chance and planted and it seems to be working out. This grass seed has done exactly what it said it would and I am very pleased.
