Re: thalaivar's Backyard Soil Test Results
Apologies Folks!
I somehow saved the file as a gif instead of a jpg. Here it is again.
I'm willing to do whatever is required to get a decent lawn that once established will flourish. I have tried to follow directions as much as I could which is why I had a pretty good run from March - late June, early July before things went south really quick.
Here is the posting in the cool grasses forum.

Re: thalaivar's Backyard Soil Test Results
Here are the things I want to do:
Put new seed down - so need a recommendation for what type of starter fertilizer to put down along with the seed
What amendments I will need to look at for the long term that will enable the lawn to flourish
I will put the following mixture of seed down
20% Maxima 1 Creeping Red Fescue
14% Pimlico Perennial Ryegrass
14% Pharaoh Perennial Ryegrass
14% Man O'War Perennial Ryegrass
14% Exacta II Perennial Ryegrass
14% Seabiscuit Perennial Ryegrass
10% Kentucky Bluegrass, 98/85
I can also look into getting a better blend of seed, but not sure if I have the time as we are looking at the beginning of October.
Also thoughts on what kind of a maintenance schedule I can follow would be helpful.
