Question:"Our greens of red fescue, which are now three years old, are in excellent condition, except that there are some spots, probably due to winterkilling, which will have to be reseeded. Would you advise the use of bent seed in reseeding these spots?"
Source of Question:Maine
Answer/Response:"If your fescue greens give promise of maintaining their general good condition we would not advise you to seed anything but fescue in them. Bent and fescue are of different textures and a mixture of the two makes a green which is difficult to maintain and unsatisfactory from a putting standpoint. If you fear the fescue is not going to continue, we would recommend that you change to bent by the addition of seed of Rhode Island, Colonial, or German mixed bent as soon as possible"
