Those are all KBG in that test rating. Yeah, Bedazzled really is awesome and exibits good performance in practically all areas of adaptation. One of Turf Merchants' competitors highly commends it, too. I don't doubt others do as well. I wish tests for powdery mildew were conducted more often or that more were available if they are conducted. Here is the 2005 turf quality ratings under shade conditions in your area. Results for PM is the 4th column. I'm not sure I would be alarmed with Morpheus' mention of PM for a number of reasons. One is that you get great resistance from both Bedazzled and Moonlight. You might want to balance the weight of the three to favor those two, like 40/40 and 20 percent Midnight/II. I think I recall suggesting that last year. Another thing is his lawn is new and new ones can't express themselves immediately, meaning their traits and characteristics, including resistances and tolerances. Still, his was not persistant as your has been. You have a lawn that is susceptible, while he doesn't. I don't expect he will have a PM problem in the future and if so, it will easily be taken care of. One thing I will surely suggest is you making sure it has not progressed into a soil-borne problem of something else before planting new seeds. Have the plants and soil tested for disease first by a plant pathology lab. Extension can handle it for you. I agree with her assessment of tall fescue in a kbg lawn. There may be reasons for mixing them in some areas, like the transition zone perhaps, but generally it isn't necessary. Ryegrass either. Been to bed twice but can't sleep. UGH

One of them looks like fine fescue. The other one (top 1st pic), can't tell need a closer picture of it.

That nasty, non-native plant is a problem in warmer US climates. Although Arundo donax rarely reproduces by seed, it has large rhizome mats that grow to more than 3 feet deep. It can also reproduce from small sections of stem. When floods break up plants along waterways, new colonies are said to spread. I've also seen random clumps that were scattered in fields, so wonder if small animals and wind can distribute stems. In any case, the deep rhizomes make the plant almost impossible to eradicate. Here is an article that provides more detail, and also suggests methods for control: Arundo donax factsheet

Thank you for the help. It grows primarily around the whole perimeter of a man made pond, around 50ft feet. It's a very rocky area and pretty much comes up in every nook and cranny it can. I've been pretty good about pulling them out the past few years before they go to seed but it seems that each year they come back the same if not worse.
