Awesome
Would you recommend the southern blend of TTF and SPF 30 or would you go straight SPF 30 KBG?

With Bluemuda would you have to continually overseed the KBG every fall? And you would not spray it out in spring, correct?

I just went the straight spf 30. The fescue germinates faster and gives the effect of faster fill in, but realistically it's the kbg that you want to take over as it is self repairing vs fescue.

There's some pros and cons to bluemuda as you might be limited on what herbicides you can use. I use msm mostly. Celsius will nuke kbg.

In a well established kbg lawn, you do not necessarily need to overseed every year(unlike fescue), but you may need to in the lower south as you may lose patches of kbg due to heat or humidity, fungal loss etc. Kbg is self repairing and can spread with adequate fertilization etc as well


Here's a pic today(need to mow and spray a few weeds out).
