Help to identify grass
Hi All,
As you can see from the photos my lawn seems to have 2 distinct types of grass. The darker green lush looking areas and then the thinner yellowish anaemic looking areas. The dark green patches are currently producing many seed heads because I haven't mowed for a while. The yellow patches aren't really doing much. I would be very happy if the whole lawn was covered in the lush dark green type of grass but I'm wondering why the lawn is so patchy like this and what the different grasses are? It's clay soil which is pretty hard at the moment because it's been quite dry for the last few weeks. I overseeded last autumn with some A1 seed which I think contains dwarf rye, various fescues and a small amount of bent grass. I have had a significant Poa Annua problem in the past. Could it be that the yellow areas are just too compacted and poorly drained, and the nice green areas just have better soil/drainage? What sort of grass is the dark green areas or is it too difficult to tell?
Thanks!
