Here are some tips on buying grass for your lawn this fall. The Hardin County Extension Office advises:

Cool weather grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and fescues are the grasses that should be grown in our area. These grasses grow in the spring and fall when temperatures range between 65- 80 degrees. The best time to plant is in the fall. These temperatures allow plenty of time for germination and growth before winter.
