I figure with so many retirees on this site that some of you must be lawn masters. Here's my situation... I just moved into a new house from always living in apartments. They sodded the front and side yards, but the back is my responsibility. I went to the farm supply store the other day and was told that it's not a good time of year to plant most grass seeds, and that I should plant rye grass b/c it grows pretty quickly and easily. She told me that it will keep the soil from eroding away through the winter and then I could throw out whatever seed I wanted next spring.
So, unless someone here can give me a better idea, I'm going to go get a lawnmower to cut these weeds and throw the rye grass out tomorrow. If it makes a difference, I'm in southern Louisiana and the weather is 80's during the day and 60's at night right now.
