Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3945525, member: 1414"] Zoysia? In the northeast? No thanks. It's hard enough dealing with the crap KY31 Tall Fescue that was in most cheap contractor grass seed mixes. Looks like crap and is late to green up. Modern, thin blade tall fescue can be ok, but I still avoid it. CT and my locale in southern MA, are prime cool season grass climates. Lots of good blends out there. I'm currently using URI #2 formulated at URI. I buy it at Agway. Kentucky blue, red fescue and perennial rye. Be careful with some patch filler grass seed. Annual rye germinates really quickly, but then dies and doesn't come back. My challenge is a sloped yard, sitting on ledge in the back. I gradually lose top soil, and growing grass is a bitch. I need to put down compost. Organic fertilizer helps with soil quality over time. [/QUOTE]
