When youre trying to find the perfect grass seed for your lawn, it can seem like there are so many options available. Our goal is to give you the information you need to select the best grass seed for your situation while answering some common questions:
When youre looking at grass seed varieties, one of the first issues youll run into is when youre asked whether you want cool or warm season grasses. Grass is grass after all, right? Not necessarily.
Cool season grasses are varieties that do well in cooler weather and can tolerate some heat. They grow best in the fall and spring, as well as in the winter for areas in the south. Except for the coldest winters, cool season grasses will even continue growing to a certain extent while under snow cover. Cool season grasses do best when planted in the fall, allowing them to take root before harsh winter weather arrives.
By comparison, warm season grasses do very well in the worst heat of summer and tend to be very drought resistant. If you have extended periods when your lawn is brown and dry during the summer, you may want to consider seeding with a warm season grass. When soil temperatures get below 65F, warm season grasses will begin to brown and remain that way until temperatures warm enough to allow the plant to begin growing again.
New grass seed is usually planted either in the spring or fall, depending on what type of turf grass youre planting. Whichever type youre planing, youll want to plant it when it has the best chances of becoming well established before its peak growing season, so that it may smother out and compete well with weeds for sunlight, soil nutrients and water.
Cool season grasses do best when established in the early fall, though they can be planted in the spring. Why fall? Because the soil is usually still warm from summer, the plants are able to germinate and grow more quickly, while the cooler air helps keep the soil moist. Planting when daytime temperatures are between 60 to 75F are ideal, as the soil will be at the best temperature to promote strong growth and establishment.
By comparison, warm season grasses do best when planted in late spring. If warm season grasses are planted in the fall, they are not able to become well established enough to compete with weeds, leading to a weaker lawn by the time summer rolls around. Because they grow well in heat, spreading warm season grass seed just before summer helps it grow quickly enough to smother out weeds. When overnight temperatures are maintaining 65 to 70F, the soil will be warm enough for warm season grass seed to thrive.
What if youre in the transition zone? In areas that receive both a very hot summer and a very cold winter, you have a couple options. In northern areas, you can plant fescue, which is a drought- and heat-tolerant cool season grass. In southern regions, Bermuda grass is a great grass that is somewhat more cold tolerant that other warm season grasses. The other option is overseeding.
Overseeding involves planting both a cool season and a warm season grass in your lawn. When your lawn begins to brown due to heat or cold, its a good time to plant the other grass type. This allows the new seed to compete with weeds effectively without choking out your established lawn. Overseeding is a very popular option for a year-round green lawn.
Now that youve got a handle on what type of grass youre planting, its time to plan what youll need to get your lawn well established, but there are a few questions to look at first. Are you establishing a new lawn or renovating an old one? A new lawn will require control of problem weeds, and youll want to be especially careful of biennial weeds such as carrot relatives, thistles, mallows or other plants with a strong root system which will actually cause more weeds if the roots are chopped apart in a tiller. A good pre-emergent herbicide can go a long way to help your new grass plants establish themselves without weed competition. Soil preparation is also vital to establishing your new turf grass. A little planning now will help prevent big headaches later.

Heres a pottery barn approach to meddling with ecosystems: You broke it, you fix it.
Only problem: Turns out its a lot easier to mess things up than to set them right.
Thats one conclusion that emerges from a creative effort to use intensive cattle grazing to get rid of an invasive, ecosystem-wrecking exotic grass, deliberately seeded over thousands of acres after the Dude Fire in 1990.
The experiment focused on reducing the ecosystem tyranny of the weeping lovegrass planted by air in 1990 to prevent flooding and erosion after the intense crown fire that seared the soil across 28,000 acres.
Rim Country rancher Ray Tanner teamed up with the U.S. Forest Service, researchers from Northern Arizona and others to determine whether concentrating cattle in an area overrun by weeping love grass would actually allow many other grasses and shrubs to get a roothold in an area dominated almost entirely by the domineering, non-native grass.
The two-year effort enjoyed limited success. It increased the amount of bare ground and encouraged a greater diversity of other grasses. But the effects faded quickly after the rancher returned cattle numbers to normal and stopped concentrating them in certain areas.
The researchers concluded the experiment could have produced a long-term effect if continued for a longer period and carefully controlled, according to the results in Rangeland, published by the Society for Range Management.
Researchers included Christopher Bernau, Jim Sprinkle, Ray Tanner, John Kava, Christine Thiel, Vanessa Prileson and Doug Tolleson.
The study adds to an intriguing set of studies that suggest careful management of cattle can improve the condition of rangelands, which remain in degraded, stressed-out condition across Northern Arizona. Uncontrolled grazing in the early 20th century transformed grasslands and pinyon-juniper and ponderosa pine forests like those surrounding Payson. Those changes resulted in a drastic reduction in the number of cattle the U.S. Forest Service allows on the range, devastating changes in wildfire patterns and the near extinction of family ranch operations.

Olinda is a small and rather beautiful settlement located 44 km east of the Melbourne city centre atop Mt Dandenong. It is noted for its scenic situation and its many art, antique and handicraft galleries. The golf course on the Olinda-Monbulk Rd offers excellent views.
The Wurrundjeri people once inhabited this area, passing on to Yarra Valley where they passed their summers on the banks of the Yarra River. The first European known to set foot in the Dandenongs was botanist Daniel Bunce who was drawn from Melbourne by the image of the looming western slopes in 1839. Guided by a party of Aboriginal people he climbed Mt Corhanwarrabul (628 metres) and Mt Dandenong (633 metres) - the two highest peaks in the ranges. Bourkes Lookout (see subsequent entry) is now situated atop the former.
The first European settlers in the Olinda area were the Holden family who camped on the slopes from 1855 and felled mountain ash until the turn of the century. Official settlement began in the 1870s and fruit-growing accompanied timbergetting. Guest houses and tea rooms were established to encourage tourists when fruit prices fell.
Olinda was the only settlement in the hills to be formally laid out thanks largely to the efforts of John Dodd who opened the first shop in the main street in 1893. Distinguished Australian artist Arthur Streeton bought a house here in the 1920s. Novelist Arthur Upfield stayed at a lodge on Mount Dandenong in 1938 and used the area as the setting for two of his detective novels, The Devil's Step (1946) and An Author Bites the Dust (1948).
Markets are held at Olinda on the second Sunday of each month.
Tourist Information The Dandenong Ranges and Knox Tourism Information Centre is located at 1211 Burwood Highway atUpper Ferntree Gully, tel: (03) 9758 7522.
The National Rhododendron Gardens The National Rhododendron Gardens attract 50 000 to 60 000 visitors annually. They are set in a natural amphitheatre of mountain ash, oaks, maples and beeches which tower over 43 ha of outstanding botanic gardens which are home to 15 000 rhododendrons, 12 000 azaleas, 250 000 daffodils, cherry tree groves and laburnums, all of which blossom in spring. The 3000 camellias are best seen in winter and there are also proteas, magnolias and Japanese maples. Birdlife includes the superb lyrebird, king parrots, crimson rosellas and peacocks. Ducks and geese can be fed in the lake.
Self-guide walk signs open up the possibility of a full three-hour exploration or you can simply pursue shorter subsections. The paths offer outstanding views of the Australian Alps which form a backdrop to the east, beyond Silvan Reservoir Park (see entry onKalorama).
