question on re-seeding lawn
I have some patches on my lawn to re-seed. They turned from green to white,
and the grass is dead. How much of that dead white grass do I need to remove? Can I loosen up the dirt, drop seed, top soil, and starter fertilizer or do I need to dig into all the dead grass and remove it ? My grass is fescue (Marathon) and I live in the foothills of Los Angeles. Thanks. |

Air that you can *see* makes my eyes burn.) To reseed: rake the dead stuff up; toss some seed out; sprinkle a tiny bit of fertilizer, if you want to; water it in. Keep sprinkling it with water when it needs it. It'll grow. Growing a lawn in LA, on water that has to come from the Colorado River is probably not a politically-correct notion these days. You guys are taking so much water that the Rio Grande is a mud ditch now. Why don't you grow native plants, instead of lawn? Are you sorry you asked yet? *smile* Jan, in Alaska these days |
