Make sure you use a perennial rye, specifically one formulated for athletic fields. It’ll get about 2” - 2.5” or so then stall out. It’s easy to maintain. I usually spray it with MSMA once warm season grasses start to come alive but if you have centipede you can’t use MSMA. Fertilize it when u plant it then again in about 2 months.

I've got a bare area that is pretty hard. Put some St. Aug plugs hoping they would spread but not much progress was made. Would throwing some rye down this winter help break up the soil and allow for easier spreading?

Do they even sell Annual Rye in Home and Garden areas? Thought you would have to go to a feed store to buy pasture grass.
