The Grass Doctor

What is the best type of grass seed and lawn fertilizer to use on bare spots in my backyard?

Just need it on spots where grass doesn't grow on it's own

1. There is no catch all to this answer. It depends on where you live as to what type of grass does best in your climate. Go to your local garden/hardware store for advice on which is best to use. Some even come premixed with seed and fertilizer. Good luck
2. Scotts Patchmaster.
3. I would say that Patch Perfect is. Patch perfect makes lawns gross nice and thick. You can even lay it on cement and it will make a nice thick coat ontop of cement. https://www.besttvbuys.com/patchperfect6/index.asp?did=978&phone=
4. The grass seed you must buy according to your area which you live in. The fertilizer you must give according to the season you are in. Both these issues can be solved by your local nursery.
5. Most nurseries sell grass plugs suitable for the local area and Scotts fertilizer for new lawns until the spots fill out.
6. My neighbors have a beautiful soft green full lawn.... They buy cheapie grass seed from Wal-mart in the spring/fall and just spread it 2x a yr.. The lawn grows in beautifully.. They water it periodically... So Very very jelious....Good luck
