I bought my first this house in the winter and now that I have had a chance to mow, I can see how bad the lawn is in the back yard. The previous owners severely neglected a lot of things about this house, lawn included. The area that needs the most work is in full direct sun. I have some grass seed that is 95% tall fescue and 5% perennial rye grass. Using the fertilizer in the picture, will this work? Would I be able to plant now? Temps for the next few weeks look to be pretty mild (low 40s at night and up to 80 in the day) and could I use those straw sheets to cover it? Thank you for any help or advice in advance!
