Question:"We have considerable low swampy land on our course and desire to seed a portion of it for use as fairways. We have heard that the best seed for use on wet land is bent. Would you advise us to use bent instead of the ordinary bluegrass-redtop mixture on these portions of our fairways?"
Source of Question:Connecticut
Answer/Response:"We believe it would be best for you to use a mixture of 2 pounds bent seed, 2 pounds Kentucky bluegrass, and 1 pound redtop, seeding at the rate of 100 to 150 pounds per acre. Bent is one of the best grasses for poorly drained land."
