Kentucky 31 Fescue 5 LB Fully Tested, Fast Germination by OrOlam

Live within NYC. Backyard needed grass used same brand last year and grew well. Withstood dogs and birds. Going to replant now in fall to fill in patches. This year going to plant when temp between 60-70 degrees as recommended. Last year planted late 50-60 but still grew so hoping to see good regrowth in spring.

My dog runs on the same path all of the time. I planted tall fescue a few times but it didn’t. The Kentucky 31 is much hardier and slowly covering the trail. I did put a straw mat I got from Lowe’s on top of it to get it started. Also watered everyday for 2 weeks and applied starter fertilizer

Grass is relatively easy to grow. Soil, sunlight, and moisture. This is the worst germinating grass seed I ever purchased. Extremely poor. Despite my best efforts, I had less than a 50% germination rate. Of the 50% that germinated, most of those did not survive. It was not due to cold temperatures, freezing temperatures etc. Just very poor grass seed.

I filled my lawn raked it... bought 4 bags of Kentucky 31 and store bought cow manure.. one week later FULL LAWN!!!! had a lot of rain which helped but as long you water you will loved it!!

Planted last fall, and most all of it came up within 2 weeks. Now it is still growing months later too. Best seed I ever planted!

Took about a week to see germination but has taken off well!!

This grass is one of the best I have used. The grass established quickly and had a high germination rate.

Turned the Earth, fertilized the soul, water morning and night for over 3 weeks straight and all I have is dirt and old grass growing in patches.
