Drainage is good, the seasonal rye that I put out seems pretty thick in the front yard and the lower traffic spots in the back yard, but it is non existent in other spots. What do you think about spreading seasonal rye and zoysia together at like an 8:2 ratio? The rye seems to take off and zoysia seems to be durable from my google search.
Also, my yard gets a good amount of sun, but I do have shaded areas depending on the time of day.
The rye doesn’t spread. So it only grows where it was applied and allowed to germinate.
I have the same problem in my backyard. Because of bad weather coming in when I applied it, I wasn’t able to get the Bermuda properly mowed and bagged before application.
Winter Rye is nice for keeping the yard together. However it has to be applied just right and allowed to germinate. Which means keeping dog traffic to a minimum for at least 1-2 weeks.
