  Best Type of Grass Seed

Pete,
I'm located in E.PA. 1/2 hour from Allentown. Just finished overseeding this weekend. After hours and hours of reading, and talking to landscapers. We did buy the seed from a landscaper who is friends with my father. He uses a custom blend of 60% Red fescue, 10% K Blue grass, and 30% perennial rye. He came up with this mix after years and years of trying different grasses in our area and found this mixture to work best. Probably because of our high drainage type soil otherwise known as shale. We own 2 acres, so watering is out of the question. Anyway, 1/2 our yard is partially shaded from many trees, and the other 1/2 is wide open. Red Fescue is very shade tolerant, rye is very durable, and K. blue grass is a nice grass to fit anywhere in between. Obviously its way to early to tell if it will work, but this mix is all he uses and he guarantee's his lawns.
Hope I took the right bet.

  Best Type of Grass Seed

Eddie,
FYI: Seems PA is getting warmer every year. While it is rare for us to hit 100 degrees, it is no longer uncommon to see 90-95 degrees in July/Aug. Just had to mention that because everyone in the south thinks our summer temperatures only reach the 80's. BTY: having done a bit of work in Guymon, OK. I now understand the second reason its called the pan handle, its temperature is well matched for its reference..
