They'll know what works best in your area. The last thing you want to do is plant something that's just gonna be trouble. [Reply]  [No Email]

The best choose will depend on where you are located. In my area, SE Nebraska, an important thing to do where you have disturbed the dirt, is to use some zinc with other commercial fertilizer and manure. [Reply]  [No Email]

If you'rte gonna be walking around it, maybe a mix like for sport fields... Shouldn't need mowed as often either..... [Reply]  [No Email]
