Trying to help a friend. After three years the grass in his lawn is still struggling. The coverage of lawn grasses is only about 60% with the remaining bare soil. It is very uniform - clumps of grass circled by bare soil. Most of the grass looks like Bluegrass, but I am not sure as the grass is forming clumps. I wasn't for sure if Bluegrass is a "clump forming" grass. Actually I don't think it is. The blades are very thin. There are some spots with other grasses with a wider blade and these spots are actually somewhat flurishing. I know these spots are Bluegrass. Any ideas what this narrow bladed grass that forms "clumps" is????? The soil is somewhat poor - little organic matter/too much sand. The clumps are very noticeable and make the yard uneven and even hard to ride a riding lawn mower over. This is in North East Iowa and that area has had ample rainfall. Spring nitrogen has been applied by a lawn care company. I guess my main concern is what for sure this clump forming narrow bladed grass might be. Maybe this specific grass doesn't spread very fast by its roots. Thanks.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
