I live in Fort Smith, AR. What is the best grass to grow and make my lawn lush and green? I am in the process of using some herbicide (MSMA) to kill the broadleaf stuff off but am not sure what type of grass seed to put down afterward. The two most common types of seed available at the local stores are Tall Fescue and Bermudagrass. I know there are pros and cons to each, but with the weather staying warmer throughout the fall and winter months around here, I am leaning toward the Bermuda because that would give me just a few months of brown lawn during the cold season and I have read the Fescue is not very drought tolerant. It gets hot and dry here during the Summer. Anyway, whatever feedback I receive will be greatly appreciated and if there are any alternatives I would be glad to hear them. Thanks.

In the NW Phoenix Area, Does Any1 Know of a Place to get Seeds for a Decent Price? I went to the Super WalMart the other day & they only had 3 types of seed left. The stand was 99% empty.

So since my 2 favorite places have been wiped out at the Bell & Grand area, Im on the hunt for Verbenas, Lemon Mint & a bunch of others. As well as a few different Ornamental Grass seeds. Or if U dont live in Az, where I could find some good prices on seed? I think anything over $1.79 is high but Im open to all suggestions now. Thanks.
