planting grass in the shady backyard
Hi all! I would like to plant grass in our back yard that has several
trees. It gets some sun, but not much, it's usually shady during the day. I would like your expert advice on the following issues: 1. When to plant grass? Note: According to city ordinance, I MUST plant grass between now and May 15, which leaves me a little over a month. I don't know if it's the best time for planting or not but I have no choice. So I wonder if it's wrong time to plant, what will the consequences be (i.e. will the grass grow this summer, will I have to use some special care, etc.)? 2. What type of grass should I plant that grows best in the shade? Should I use seeds or "roll-out grass"? 3. What are the tips for caring for the newly planted grass? Should I buy a sprinkler system? How often do I need to fertilize it? I live in St. Louis, MO. Thanks for all responses! |
