[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 612206, member: 8840"] I don’t get it. I renovated 15 acre of old fescue with the MaxQ variety and had some old fescue still around. If I have 5% of the old and 95% of the new, isn’t that 95% better. As long as the fescue doesn’t go to seed the balance should state close to 95/5 mix. The fungus is spread only by seed volunteering, if you keep the fescue clipped like you are supposed to anyway, you should be fine. Now if the MaxQ does not survive as well as the old fescue, over time the percentage may increase but so what? Well diluted old fescue is not a problem anyway. I know it cost more but should pay for itself over a long period. Edit: Just read the other thread. I have trouble with the notion of fescue seed coming up years later. I sprayed roundup and disked during the summer and killed most volunteer seed the came up, unfortunately we had some rain the last time i disked and some survived. But fescue here does not come up well if planted very deep (over 1/2 inch), so without cultivation how can it come up years later. [/QUOTE]
