Hi folks,
Would be extremely grateful if someone would kindly offer
me some advice.  I
have two lawns in need to some reseeding due to bald
patches, moss etc. One is
South facing so gets plenty of sun the other
is north facing and parts of it
only get the last sun of the day.  I'm
a little confused with the various
options.  I am considering
purchasing the rapid start and the shady from the
following link.
Neither though specify whether they are perennial or annual.
Really
could do with perennial as I have very little time.  Some are with
ryegrass and some without??????     Thanks for your help.   Stuart

I wouldn't buy any grass mix without knowing exactly what kind it
is.   Why not just go to a local lawn/garden shop where you can read
the bag?    What you want to use usually depends on what you already
have, so that it will blend in.   You definitely want a shade mix for
the north side.   They typically use some of the fescues that are
suited to shade.

Also, now is far from the ideal time to be seeding, assuming you're in
the UK where summer is approaching.   Ideal time is Fall, when you
have declining temps, less competition from weeds, lower watering
reqts, etc

Depends where you are.  Giganews doesn't offer a hint in location of the
sender.

You need 2 types of grass.  One that enjoys the sun, the other that does
well in shade.
