New Seeding
Prepare the soil by tilling to a depth of 4 - 6 inches. Conduct a soil test to be sure your soil has the proper nutrients it needs for a healthy lawn. Apply fertilizer and lime at the recommended rates. If you are unable to conduct a soil test, apply lime and a complete lawn fertilizer according to the recommended rates on the packages. Work lime and fertilizer evenly into the soil, then rake the soil surface smooth to give the seed an ideal bed in which to establish healthy roots. Sow the grass seed by evenly spreading according to the recommended seeding rates. Rake, harrow or otherwise work the seed into the soil ¼” to ½” deep. Keep the area well-watered until the seeds germinate and the seedlings have grown sufficiently to establish a lawn, then water as needed.
Overseeding or Reseeding
Before overseeding, it is important to prepare the soil. Conduct a soil test to be sure your lawn has the proper balance of nutrients. Fertilize and lime if needed. Mow or clip the existing grass as closely as possible. Remove clippings and rake, harrow lightly or aerate the soil where there is existing lawn. This will allow the new seed to make contact with the soil. Sow the seed and gently rake to cover. Keep the lawn moist until seedlings are established, then water as needed.

Improving Bare Spots

Long Rhizomes or stolons? I'm looking for a grass that doesn't creep everywhere and doesn't have thick woody stolons making it uncomfortable to walk on. Must be warm season grass.
Pennington Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue Penkoted Grass Seed is made up of Tall Fescue and it will not grow through a Rhizome or a Stolon as it's a root grown grass. You will need to apply seed to fill in bare areas since it will not creep very fast it is a clumping grass.If you are looking for a warm season and naturally spreading grass, you would look to something such as Bermuda or Zoysiagrass seed or sod.
