sorry Michaela-small sidetrack here


Dawn,
I have never seen scientific proof of this, but sodded lawns have always had more quackgrass than seeded lawns. Also they usually have more thatch problems like surface insects and slow recovery from damage. Root diseases like summer patch and necrotic ring spot are also much higher - mainly due to the sod being grown on nice loamy soil and being placed on poor draining soil. Seeded lawns take a few years to fully establish, but are more rooted into their homes.


Hey I grew Kelvin Floodlight last year also.
