I've discovered an excellent method of re-seeding my lawn. Once a season, I
simply let the grass grow all the way to seed. Once the wife gets too vocal
and the kids get lost, I get out the big flail mower and whack it all down.
I've a lush, thick "lawn" now with only original seeding done. Well, perhaps
the birds and critters have dropped in a few other species, but who's
worried about that?

Hi all,

I have an older home with several types of grass types growing
together. I don't know what the species of the grasses are, but there
are at least 4-5 different types growing to make one generally green
happy multicultural lawn (each grass in their own little neighborhood-
ha). Most of the lawn is in shade throughout the day, except for a few
patches getting a couple hours of direct sun around mid-day.

I'd like to start core-aerating and seeding annually with the same
type of seed. Any recommendations for seed-type/brand name or other
advice? I'd LOVE to pull it all up and start over, but I've got ~12k
sq. ft. or so. Definitely doing some groundcover in the dry, shady
parts.

Forgot- Chicago, zone 5.

You wouldn't actually need to pull it up of course. Just wack it with
Round-up.
