Growing from Seed

Grass seed Question

12 years ago

Just had an idea, don't know if it's a good one or not. Have a sloped area in my front yard where I just cannot get grass seed to grow. I'm wondering if I can start this inside under lights and then plant as plugs in spring. I use a tuff turf mixture of I believe warm season grass. Anyone know if that would work, and if so, how long to germinate? TIA.

Turf grass has no objection to growing on a slope, as long as the seed is not washed away by rain, or over watering. You will need to sow the area when the soil temperature is the best temperature for germination. Al
