2 of the 3 KBG Cultivars I am using were top rated for CT in NTEP. Curious about Blue Gem, did not hear much about it - since it ranked so high in CT NTEP testing, I added it to the Mazama and After Midnight.
This is the North Side of the house. The area adjacent to the foundation is mostly shaded. I'll be adding a hardscape walkway from the backyard to side garage door pictured.
Glypho'd the lawn and power raked.
Brought in 6 yards of topsoil from the same local distributor I used in the front lawn.
Spread topsoil and leveled. My neighbors and I built a leveling drag to pull behind the tractor.
Kept Dragging and dragging for as long as I could. Finished by dragging with the leveling rake and pushing small pebbles and rocks off to the side.
