I over seeded my gross awful lawn last fall with annual ryegrass. It looks so amazing all winter, here in Atlanta area in Early march. Can I just put out a tall fescue grass now to start dealing with my lawn. And then over seed again with an annual ryegrass in the fall?

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

In the south ryegrass is temporary and in the next few weeks you will grow to hate annual ryegrass because of the growth habit it’s going to take on. Make an attempt to seed with fescue now …. By the end of the summer it won’t look so great and then seed with fescue again in the fall . Fescue and annual ryegrass will not mix together the color of the fescue is way darker also the ryegrass will start to poison its competition when it’s stressed so mixed lawn will look terrible

Ive had bad luck with Blue Grass in years past. Prone to disease and brown patch. It was continually dying out and I had to reseed every fall. Finally gave up and went with K31, but have had limited success with it. At this point I am unsure of what to use. With so many varieties out there, and Ive tried a few, with limited success, I really dont know what to try anymore.

Question about tenacity. I overseeded and applied with surfactant. Wasn’t happy with all the bleaching. Would it be effective to apply again 30 days later without the surfactant to limit bleaching?

[@PutEmInTheBox]

Rate was 1/2tsp per 1000sqft

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

A surfactant is NOT necessary with Tenacity as it is root absorbed. Without looking at the bottle I don’t know the rate per 1000 sq feet, I usually use it at 4 to 5oz per acre then follow up with a 3oz per acre in 2 to 4 weeks then if necessary a a third app at 2oz per acre.

[@PutEmInTheBox]

Paul's Prime Cuts that’s 4oz/acre. Hmm...so I would still have bleaching. Thanks!
