I have mostly sandy soil, but some areas are kinda clayey. I have sunny spaces and shady spaces. I am planning on using 2 different types of seeds for the shady and sunny areas. I live in Oklahoma - zone 6 if that matters. We have planted grass seed before but it is really mostly dirt now and we are planning to really plant it heavily this fall and lay hay on top of it to keep it there (we live on a hill). Any suggestions of what type to use or where i can go to research what i would need?

Before you put the seed down, use a garden rake to loosen the soil. Then put some seed down, and some fertilizer on it. Do not use hay, if you are going to cover it, you will get a lot of weeds, instead, use straw, which will be much better. I have found that Kentucky Blue Grass really grows in quick and thick, in all climates. Water it lightly everyday, for 10 days. Do not cover it, until after the grass has grown in, else it might rot..good luck..

Try Bermudagrass. You can also try St. Augustine. Make sure you lay sod, not seed. It is almost impossible for a homeowner to get seed to come up properly. Make sure you have a nice level surface also. Get all the rocks and clods out of there. Water nicely before you put the sod down and about a month before you lay sod, put down some weed killer and kill everything.

frequently it truly is ideal for filling in places such as you're conversing approximately to purchase a mixture of grass seed. it truly is offered in gardening centers all bagged up and blended. many times they are going to sell manufacturers with styles of grass premixed that are suited to your section. With the aggregate of seeds you have gotten a number of varieties to offer diverse grass growths at diverse circumstances and under differeing situations. this might patch a bad place extra effective than basically one style of grass seed.
