As the title suggests, I need some help with grass seed choices for my lawn. I can't really call it a lawn, it's two acres in a "subdivision" but honestly I don't really care what grows as long as it's green and resembles grass.
Some portion of it has been tore up from equipment when I built my shop building and hasn't grown back well, other than sporadic weeds. That's what I'm trying to remediate, as well as portions of the fenced in yard with heavy traffic (dogs and kids). I have a few things working against me:
A) poor soil; in some places it's rocky and looks barren of anything that might resemble topsoil
B) With a lot of area to cover, I can only dedicate prep work to certain areas that I care about.
Is there such a thing as a grass seed that I can put down with little or no prep, that can grow well in poor soil? I've had good luck with KY-31 grass seed in areas I care about, closest to the house that I put some time into at least making the soil loose and watering when it's dry (only when getting established). But not sure that's a good candidate for overseeding - just throwing down seed and hope it works. Any suggestions would be welcome.
The climate here (45 miles southwest of Louisville) is such that warm or cool season grass can both thrive, but I just need something green that is hardy and easy to plant as possible.
