@Allan-00
Awesome, thank you.

I definitely have irrigation. I'm in northern CA, so during July and August, the sunny portions of my yard get absolutely nuked by the sun for 8-10 hours a day. Temps have been over 100 for probably 6 weeks now.

I've got some shady spots under trees that will get 3-5 hours per day, so there's definitely some sun, just not the full exposure.

Pure TTTF is probably best from a sun exposure standpoint, but the self-repair of KBG is definitely preferred so I don't have to overseed my high-traffic areas every year.

Wow, I ordered a 25lb bag and it was marked shipped within 24 minutes.

I overseeded a lawn with ST2 a few years ago and liked it. Added 4th Mil with an overseed the following year. Doing a reno with it this year.

Looks great! Yours was one of the first hits that came up when I searched for it.

So when you overseeded, you just added MORE 4th Mill?

I've been extremely happy with this blend. On the right is Super Turf 2 planted this time last year. In the left, is Super Turf 2 planted exactly 1 week ago… had germination in 3 days.

For a TTTF it actually looks better cut shorter ~2.5" than growing longer. I don't expect the KBG in this blend to fill in as much as I would like especially in the shade, so I expect some overseeding will be needed to get things thick.



Color wise this stuff gets dark green but it's a noticeably different color of dark green compared to KBG. Bluegrass has that blueish hue to it, whereas this has an emerald green to it.

Looks great, thanks! My bag comes on Wednesday. Hoping to start my front yard reno shortly!

@Don_Julio Looks great! Do you use a striping kit, or does it look like that naturally with your mower?

My bag of seed comes tomorrow. Looking forward to nuking my front lawn!

About 14+ DAG it starts to tiller out. Keep it mowed at 1.5-2” for a few mows and it’ll look great after a month.
