re: Tall Fescue thread/recs

We have Tall Fescue and Bermuda here in the KC area. I overseed the spots that don't make it through summer with Tall Fescue in mid September. Fertilize lightly in September before seeding and fertilize heavily sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

During the heat of the summer the Bermuda expands and the Fescue goes dormant. When the weather cools the Fescue comes back. I mow the lawn on the highest setting all year except once before seeding. That one time I mow about an inch shorter and bag. This cleans up a lot of the brown and allows the Fescue to overtake the Bermuda before colder weather starts. You will have a reasonably green lawn year round without breaking the bank.

Weed B Gone in spring and fall. This is zone 6.
