I read at various places to not put tall fescue seed in a kentucky
bluegrass lawn. My question is this: I think I have a lawn filled
with K31 tall fescue. Is ok to reseed it with a newer variety or
should I stick to K31 for a more uniform appearance?
Thanks.

Why don't put tall fescue with blue grass? I purchase a blend for
overseeding that has both mixed together. Am I doing something wrong?

Nope, they sell them blended for seeding. I've used tons..the more blue
you add, the more it costs. Tall Fescue doesn't spread much..one seed =
one plant..sorta.




The issue with mixing kentucky blue grass and tall fescue is that as
Peter pointed out, tall fescue is a larger blade grass and grows
faster, tending to crowd out the blue grass. However, there are newer
varieties of tall fescue like Duster or Montauk, that have finer
blades and are slower growing. Those should be better at blending
with blue grass.
