I thought a garden chat and photo thread would be a good idea.
This way, we have a space to share current pictures and discuss dandelions and other plants.

I think your chances are slim; I can already see Poa in the neighbor’s new sod (3 weeks old).

Good to know that you can watch the lawn die after just six months. I could have saved myself thousands of euros 😡

I’m not sure if it’s annua. Do you have a grass seed mix with supina?
Mowing won’t get rid of it. Both annua and supina thrive with a close cut.
The lawn won’t die. Apply glyphosate and reseed the next day. Or dig it out.
Alternatively, overseed the rest of the lawn occasionally with a lighter mix. Then it becomes less noticeable.
Some PGA golf courses use annua.
With regular mowing (using sharp blades), fertilizing, and watering, you can achieve 80-90%. If you want more, it usually becomes much more labor-intensive.

I have no idea what type of lawn mixture this is. My landscape gardener says that the mixture always contains Kentucky bluegrass because of its stability. However, since it spreads out in circular patches over time, that probably isn’t the purpose. He also said it needs to be mowed regularly and fertilized every fall for two years. After that, there will be no more Kentucky bluegrass. I’m not sure whether to believe him...

When the dry period arrives, you should conserve water; if I remember correctly, it will die off otherwise.

Yes, that’s how it should be. Nevertheless, the seeds survive, and I have the same problem again next year. Not to mention the brown spots that develop in the lawn...
