Kentucky blue
We are in the process of building our cabin, and wanted to plant a little
over 1.25 acres of Kentucky blue on a portion of the remaining land. The soil is of the sandy type, and we are located in southern Oregon at around 4500 ft. The property originally had pine trees and sage brush. Some of the pines remain, but I have rough graded the property to rid it of the sage and tree stumps. We are not expecting to move in until the fall of '04, so we have time to do everything right. If any, what would you recommend as a topsoil combination? Best and most efficient way of smoothing out the rough grade, so no there are no abrupt changes throughout the lawn? Sod, seed, or hydroseed? Best time of year to plant? Any other tips that would be beneficial? Thanks in advance. |

A Bobcat with a rock-hound implement,if you're not trying to change the grade much. Sod, seed, or hydroseed? Best time of year to plant? Any other tips that would be beneficial? Thanks in advance. Best time is fall. Btw..never plant all the same variety of grass seed. -- Zl Arjfernqre vf orggre guna lbhef! 13 -- Tb# 40 42 12 |

Kentucky blue
So what would you recommend with Kentucky blue? I would like to keep the
dark green look and soft feel theme. wrote in message ...
