The Grass Doctor

Any input on how to grow grass in low sun areas? I've tried all these types of grass seeds to no avail.?

Bald spots under large hedge bushes (about 15' high) does not provide much in the way of sunshine. Grass does grow in but only lasts for weeks then fizzles out. Used ALL types of low sun grass seed to no avail.

1. Check the pH of the soil with a pH testor and make sure thats not compounding the problem. Low light areas need lots of seed to start and then fertilizer to keep it going.
2. You have the perfect place to put in a stone accent or a mulch bed. If nothing grows there you have it made. You could lay pavers down for a border, dig some holes for a flower potted plants and fill it in with soft stone like river bottom and or peagravel. something soft to walk on and massage your feet. It doesn't cost a whole lot if you do alittle at a time. buy some stepping stones, maybe two a week, what I am saying is to make a little sanctuary, maybe a bird bath would work too.
