While many Northern lawns have a blend of Bluegrass, Ryegrass, and Fescue, there are plenty of homeowners who prefer a lawn full of Tall Fescue.

Will this lawn stay green in the winter?

What’s the weed and crop percentage rate?
Hello Gabriel. Thank you for your question regarding the Scotts Turf Builder Tall Fescue PhysBlend Mix. The exact percentages are printed on the seed label, which is on the bag when it's packaged. Since we don't have access to that specific label, we can give you a general idea. Because the seed mix you're using is one of our premium mixes, you can expect the weed seed percentage to be around 0.01%, and the "other crop" percentage will typically be no more than 0.25%. For the most accurate numbers, just take a peek at the back of the bag. That's where you'll find the specifics for that particular batch.
What is the seed content vs. coating content by weight?
Scotts Turf Builder Tall Fescue PhysBlend Mix has the following breakdown by weight: 48% Grass Seed by weight: 30% Kizzle Tall Fescue 35% Duration Tall Fescue 35% Tough Tall Fescue 51.75% Inert Matter 37.5% Clay 12.5% Fertilizer 1.75% Inert Matter
Is this all tall fescue or different added seed

What's the texture type?
Scotts Turf Builder Tall Fescue Mix with Root-Building Nutrition is a course grass but very durable to heat and drought. The blade with is typically around 3/16-inch.
How well does this grass do in shade? Can you use slit seeder and if so what is the recommended depth to set the slit seeder?
Hey Andy, Thanks for reaching out about using a slit seeder with our Scotts Turf Builder Tall Fescue PhysBlend Mix. We recommend using a Scotts hand-held, drop or broadcast spreader for best results. You'll want to apply the seed in an area that gets full sun to medium shade. That means at least 4 hours of direct or filtered sunlight per day.

Water is an important factor in successful seeding. The newly seeded areas must be kept constantly moist for weeks on end. Allowing the soil to dry out even for an hour during the critical germination phase can result in seedling death. This may require that you give the seeded areas a light watering two to three times a day for the first few weeks. After that, you will still need to keep the seedlings watered on a regular basis.
Two "enemies" of newly seeded lawns are herbicides and lawn diseases. While you have very little control over the outbreak of a lawn disease, do make sure that no weed control or weed prevention chemical has been used in the area, as those products will also prevent or inhibit germination. When used on newly germinated lawns, herbicides will kill off the new grass.
Finally, temperature plays a critical role in seed germination. Soil temperatures must be at least 55°F (13°C) for northern type turf grass seed to germinate (Bluegrass, ryegrass, fescue). Air temperature must typically be between 60 and 80°F (15-26°C)
