Best Grass Seed
I was shopping at my local feed store the other day for grass seed for my lawn. I was not real sure which type of grass seed was right for my climate area and my lazy watering techinque.
My neighbor uses Winter Rye grass each winter and it looks gorgeous but he has to mow a few times during the winter and it dyes off during the hotter summer months which looks pretty yucky. its cheap, and the easiest grasses to grow so it works best for my lazy water and maintenance personality allows.
I looked into Fescue, and those are pretty cool grasses, the thin Fescue is what a lot of the golf courses use. It grows slow and does not require a lot of maintenance, which I like.
There is Centipede grass, which moves slow and steady and grows short as well so there is little maintenance to do. Centipede grass can take light freezes but not a hard freeze without too much damage.
Then there is Bermuda grass, which tends to grow well in pretty much the lower half of the United States and is sometimes called the South Grass. Its fast growing, fairly cheap, and easy to seed and maintain.
The Pennicot seed company is probably the leader these days in grass seeds although you can usually find more affordable seed at your local feed store.
