it's still dry in coffee county. what does good in dry and hot weather? crab grass or bermuda. both will be gone when jack frost gets here. ky-31 is on more lawns in tennesse than any other grass. there's still plenty of time to sow it. it won't come up if it doesn't rain.

In this area the farm agent reccomends Tall Fescue mix is resistant to dry & hot spells .

Often a person can visit a few stores and see what everyone of them has in bulk. Most generally they will all stock the best seller and maybe a few others. That doesn't always mean they are the best variety, but the most popular.

Now that I've said that---K-31 Fescue has been popular in my area for a couple of decades. My son in law showed me Premium blend fescue in a friends lawn and it appeared superior so that is what we planted. Never been sorry either.

Now I read that Kansas has something like 54 varieties that are better then the old standard K-31.

My point is that one should probably seek out their local Extension office to learn of their recommendations rather than opinions of others. Well if you've had a good experience with them.

johns48jdb,
it's bad hear in lawrence co. but i have seen it worse than this.things are greening out a little agin this past week. still around 15'' below normal for rain fall and around 50'' below the last 2 1/2 years.
anyway, i have tried fescue 3 times but it never lives long.i got to mow it once 3 times before it all died out. i can get a good stand up but it will not last long.

steve i just went to the tractor show in eagleville this past week end and i couldn't believe how bad the dry weather has made that part of the country look. i saw guys bailing corn stubble for hay. i guess they intend to crush and grind it. i think fescue would be hard to beat, but why not ask your county agi agent. he might provide you with some soil sample boxes and then recommendation for the best seed to use.
