Bad choice of grass seed

[fishbones]

You might want to try a hybrid of Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. It the preferred grass of Carl Spackler.

I have seen the scotts patch stuff with the green stuff. It does seem to work well were I've seen it used but its very expensive because a bag full only covers a small area.. I may have to go that root. A few peopel have recommended Fescue , I'll keep an eye out for some.

I am watering the KBG in hopes it will eventually sprout but it almost 2 weeks now and nothing and the information I got said it could take up to 4 weeks.

URI 1 and 2 are supposed to be specifically developed for this area but i also had little luck with it in the past.

Didn't Bill Murray patent that blend fishbone?

URI#2 with starter fertilizer.

Flood two-three times a week instead of watering everyday.STARTER fertilizer is the key!

My lawn is insane.

I have also had very good luck with URI #2, good for sun or shade and grows well

I used patchmaster last fall to do this strip on my front lawn between my lawn and the road where nothing has grown well since they did the sewer project.... Everyone on my street has this dead strip. It came up really well and is doing well now. Still not growing as well as the rest. They must have replaced the soil with bad dirt....
I also put some seed under the patchmaster and it really came up well.

I bought some new seed from scotts i believe with a coating on it that is supposed to hold water. I put it in my shady backyard and it came up pretty well in about a week and a half last april. I think it came up better than plain seed. It is a little more pricier though.

He sure did. The great thing about it is that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus that night.
