| I'm putting my house on the market next spring, and want my lawn to green up then and look its best. I currently have mixture of tall fescue and rye. Some shade spots have trouble getting thick grass, other sunny spots burn up in summer.
I'm planning to aerate and slit seed over labor day. What seeds do you recommend? I'm in central New Jersey (Princeton). |

| If all you care about is the appearance of the TTTF, then here are cultivars that tested the best in North Brunswick NJ. Cochise IV, Turbo, Finelawn Xpress, Bullseye, Van Gogh, Cannavaro, Catalyst, Faith, Falcon V. You can find most of these at The Hogan Company in Tenn. Most TTTF can handle a good deal of shade, but some are better than others. If your shady areas get at least 4 hours of direct sun then Cochise IV, Turbo, and Bullseye would make a great mix, and they would have above average disease tolerance. A word of warning, the existing rye in your yard can inhibit, or even prevent germination of turfgrass depending on how much you have in your yard. TTTF is a relatively quick germinator, so it might do better then KBG in this regard. |
