Q: “I have loamy dirt and need to know what grass seed or blend is best, in full sun (without annual rye or tall fescue).”

A: Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and fine fescue are cool-season turf grasses commonly used in Michigan. Without irrigation, cool-season turf grasses may become dormant during periods of hot or dry weather in the summer.
