I understand that the grass seed in box stores (Scotts, Pennington) are gmo and the seeds produced by the mature grass in your lawn will not grow. Is this true and where can you get a tall fescue or similar cold season seed that remains fertile/self propogating for G2 and beyond?
I have a small, fenced backyard for my dogs that I need to till and seed soon. To keep my dogs from disturbing the growth, I planned on temporarily fencing half the yard off until the grass is growing and then fencing off and seeding the other half.
Are there any cons to this approach I’m not thinking of?
Sorry if this isn’t the right subreddit for this but there are a lot of these “individual grasses” that really stick out. Any advice on what I can do about these? Pulling each of these out seems like a nightmare and probably not the most optimal solution :(
I am a little worried that not enough germination is happening. Does this look like a normal progression for a post 3-week seed laying? It just looks...patchy/thin to me.
I've been watering about 3 times per day for 3 weeks. What should next steps be?
Hi everyone, I have this new lawn on a house I’m building and I have no clue what I should do. It’s about a thousand square ft. I have nutsedge growing right now which I’m tackling but want to know what you all suggest I do and what lawn would be best/ cost effective. Should I just get St Augustine sod and call it a day with daily watering of course or is there a good seed to use that will produce nice results.
Need help with grass type ID. I have bunches of amazingly dark green grass. Most of my lawn is decent. But these bunches are the best grass, darkest green, thick, fast growing healthy etc. looking for help identifying it and then thoughts on how to expand it through the yard.
Grass looks very "sparse" with looks like a lot of dead grass. It has been down probably around 3 months. Not sure how to get it looking better?
I found a patch of grass under my maple tree, about 18 inches square, that's a slightly deeper green than the surrounding grass. It seems to be tolerating the shade better, and it's springier underfoot. But... what IS it? I've tossed a variety of grass seeds around in recent years. This is upstate NY, climate zone 6.
Hello, theres these sprouts growing and and I’m just curious what they could be? I’m assuming they are a type of weed, but I’m wondering as to what they will look like.
i’m aware of the ones with the rigid edges, but there’s a lot sprouting where it’s two leaves, the leaves both have smooth, rounded edges as being able to see in the photo.
If anyone knows what these will look like as the grow more i’d love to know. thank you!
I live in Newfoundland Canada.

Does anyone have experience using these? Are they just as good as doing a more standard pH test on soils, or is it more of a gizmo that will never leave the drawer it rests in?
My lawn has become overrun by Poa Annua, it’s literally covered in it. Last year it wasn’t too bad but this year it’s horrendous. I have aerated, scarified and over seeding as well as pulling the larger areas but it’s a losing game. I’m in the UK. Not sure whether totally re-turf is my only option?
Just bought house last winter....the grass started out super green and now these have popped up making it look like grass is brown and dead in patches. Haven't done anything but water and cut, really want to make it look nice though and want to learn more about lawn care. Last Pic is of backyard which looks like the feo t yard did before these popped up. Can anybody identify what these are and how to get rid of them? Or better yet any kind of lawn care advice to have a nice looking yard? Location is near DFW area, Texas. TIA!
1 year old sod in Montana I have deer that like to bed down and hangout in the backyard. Are the darker green spots normal? And the dead spots are where I picked up droppings from them if there’s any tips on getting that to come back.
Started with no grass a few months ago. Had top soil put down and leveled with seeds. Feel like there’s a bunch of weeds growing and bald spots. Any tips to get it better?
Please let me know what I can do to get this better. Sorry for the overgrown yard too🥲
