The key word in that last post is most!! Some contain Mostly annual annual
seed as well. The annual seed it what germinates the quickest so you see
results fast (if watered correctly about 5 days). Then the red fescue and
then the perennial ryegrass seed, this is the one that survives the best
here. I am not familiar wit the scotts seed you used but if it was the
cheaper of the Scotts family of lawn grass it was probably mostly annual.
During my 15 years of doing this type of work I have found Pickseed
40-40-20
the best here in NL. Try it and some 12-18-12 fertilizer. Apply the
fertilizer about 10-14 days before the seed not very heavy. Not regular
lawn
fertilizer for it is to high in Nitrogen. It has a tendency to burn the
roots of new seed. Most of the retail stores seed does not have a
guaranteed mixture, the first thing you should look for in a seed.
Good luck......keep us posted
