Hi there, Once you figure out what type of grass to plant, this site might really help you: http://www.viraleruption.com/growing-grass-seeds.html I came across it recently and it's a great reference on how to grow grass seeds. I actually printed it out and have it posted in my garage. Best of luck and let me know how the lawn turns out! Rose

It wasn't the temp or the soil. It was your watering. How did you water the bermuda? How are you watering it now? When did you seed the fescue and how did you water that. Generally planting fescue seed any time after about February is not a great idea. The closer you get to July the less and less of a good idea it is. Bermuda sod can go down any time, but it needs to be watered 3x per day for the first 3 weeks in order to get the roots from the sod to knit or grow into the soil underneath. Did you do that? Also did you roll the sod or seed down? It is possible to post more than one picture, but you have to use HTML coding to do it. Read this for more info.

Are you sure it's the fescue you like and not the KBG? Also, I noticed that there's some Chewings fescue in there. That's a fine fescue and there's more difference in looks between fine fescue and either tall fescue or KBG than there is between KBG and tall fescue. KBG spreads via rhizomes. There are some varieties of tall fescue that spread via rhizomes, but both of the varieties in htat mix are bunch grasses that only spread slowly through tillers. Chewings fescue also spread very slowly through tillers. The only fine fescue that spreads via rhizomes is creeping red fescue. These three grasses all have different traits and are suited for different types of conditions. Where in WA are you? You'll want to do things differently if you live in Seattle than if you live someplace like Pasco. How much sun does your lawn get per day?

1. Having my neighborhood go up in flames 2. Having my neighborhood washed away in a flood 3. Having my neighborhood be swallowed up in the next quake, #1 No fires if you stay away from the hill's where there are lots of old dead tree's #2 Floods - Just stay away from those few areas #3 Will yea Earth Quakes are defiantly scary! Can't do much about that. I would recommend a one story ground level house. As you can see I have a two story Cape Cod style home. I'm always worried we will get shook off our foundation. Earthquake insurance it is too expensive with huge deductibles! Everything does grow good here though. Weather is nice most the year. LetÂs see sod laying tips. When I lay sod I straighten the sod edges and corners as I go and make sure no grass gets stuck between the sod edges. This will avoid dead grass and brown and yellow stripes between the sod pieces that can make fungus and just makes for a bad start. I spray the ground with water and put down a little fertilizer as I lay the sod. I always use my square so I get nice square edges when I cut sod. Sometimes I donÂt even till the ground. Sod will live on the patio if you water it. I do it all the time. DonÂt over water your new lawn. Get out there and lift up the sod and see how wet it is. If you over water your new lawn you will get chlorosis and fungus like I have now from too much rain. If I need to replace a small spot I use a plate or bucket for a stencil and cut out the bad piece. Then I use the plate or bucket to cut a new piece of sod from extra sod that I keep on the patio or garden. If you are going to put in French drains or remove and replace tree's itÂs better to do it first. I did it all backwards. I have a spot were an old tree and its roots were removed and it keeps sinking along with the trenches were I put the drains. If you put drains. It is good to attach your rain gutter down spouts to them. Also if you dig your ditch for your sprinklers try to keep the top soil separate from any clay soil that may be down lower and put the soil back in the whole the same way you took it out. The grass grows better on the top soil than the clay. ThatÂs about all I can think of for now other than I like Blue Grass because it self fills. But. If you have shade you will need to over seed now and then were it thins out. I left a link below to other garden pics. I like to grow fruit trees as well. I get all my info for the roses and fruit tree's here on GardenWeb. Take care Dave Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Pics
