grass seed questions
Scotts Pure Premium Heat & Drought Brand?
It has Tall Fescue. A lot of books report that not recommended. Why would Scotts sell it? Does it handle Shade ? I read it need less watering, mowing and fertilizer.
I live in Indiana.
My grass seems to die out ever two years. I hate having to reseed it. Yes, I got a shaded yard. The sun dose shine at for at least an hour.
What would be the best grass seed to get?(I don't want a blue yard)

Why those mercenary bastards.
How dare they sell that stuff.
Screw Scotts.
Why not grow Vinca minor instead?
I have had very good luck with Tall Fescure (Black Beauty, Rebel II) for
5 years. My yard is fairly sunny, however. Tall Fescue send roots down 3 to 4 feet for water and is known for not browning out in summer.
I don't want a ground cover.
How often to you mow it? Do you ever water it? What happen when it rains alot? I have read that it won't do well.

I doubt that any lawn would survive with only an hour of sun. If you don't want a blue yard don't paint it blue.

I mow it when it needs mowed and when it rains, the ground gets wet! Usually I mow it close to 4" to shade out weeds.
