Q.Bare Spots
My backyard has been growing nice grass. I mowed and watered it for years no problem but now it has three bare spots, yet all around these spots is good healthy grass waiting for a mowing. I fertilized it last winter, raked it in and put seeds down this year…nothing. I put down Pennington grass seed with the promise that this will grow grass…nothing. I’m tempted to put down sod just to cover the bald spot but I’m sure this would just wilt away.
