If you want KBG then plant KGB seeds only! Kill the lawn now it's in the high 90's low 100's so it's about the right time anyhow.

Then wait until the 15th of August to regrade and sow your seeds. Sow 5 lbs per 1000 sq ft if broadcast, 3 lbs per 1000 if slit seeded. KGB will take over the lawn here without a problem, most people here see the heavier blades of grass which can be any number of weeds that thrive here and think they are K31 or the like.

Then start a good watering and fertilizer program.


You should use 3 to 5 different brands of KGB. That dosen't mean different suppliers, just different strains.
