Planting Rye Grass
Planting rye grass is a quick way to get a green lawn or sports area.
This grass germinates very quickly - in about 7 days and is used for sports turf as well as winter green lawn coverings in warmer areas. Rye grass can be an annual or perennial - annual grasses are typically used for pastures and agriculture and perennial are typically used for lawns and sports turf although there are versions that can be used for either!
When planting rye grass in warmer areas to maintain a green lawn in winter, you typically overseed the existing lawn. This grass sprouts pretty easy so you don't need to disturb the currently growing or dormant lawn too much.
Of course, frequent watering the first week is essential. It can be planted at any time as long as the ground is not frozen.
Since there are tons of different varieties, people have been planting rye grass for many different reasons. It can be used as a lawn grass, in pastures, for erosion control and in sports fields. It can be planted on it's own or seeded over an existing lawn. This grass which is a European grass sprouts and grows fast and works great as a fill in grass.
Planting rye grass is one of the easiest lawn tasks you can undertake. It can be sown without tilling or digging into the soil. The seeds will need to come in contact with the soil in order to germinate, but otherwise you just need to water and throw on some fertilizer. Lawns should be sown with 5 to 10 pounds per 1000 square feet and pastures with 20 to 40 pounds an acre.
