Question Dear Ronald: I live in North Georgia. My lawn is of mixed grasses--Kentucky fescue and an unknown kind, which is beautifully low-growing and "withers" earlier in fall and turns green later in spring. I want to replace fescue with this but don't know its name. Besides, I have an area (along one edge of the lawn but not shaded) that is covered with moss. These days I have "uncovered" the area by peeling away the moss layer. I know now is not a good time to sow seeds, but if I frequently water, can I put in seeds of that unknown kind of grass (hopefully I can find them somewhere when you tell me the name) ? Thank you in advance.
Aaron
Answer Many thanks for the vote of confidence in my ability to identify the grass but alas, I cannot. If you take a patch of it to the Extension Office in the county where you live, they will identify it for you and give you useful information about establishment and growth.
Moss indicates wet conditions and I would try and remedy that before trying to grow grass on the area.
