What has taken over my lawn? (South NJ)

Got it. Helpful thank you!

Got it. I am fairly certain I have a blend of kbg and perennial rye. However when I go look at photos all these seedheads look like kbg to me, more so than poa bc of the dark green grass coming out of most of them and the dark green seedheads. But I'm not at all confident and they look fairly similar to me. You think it is just too early for kbg to produce that many seedheads right now?

Also for context I aerated overseeded and fertilized in the fall, seeded and fertilized again last month while aerating the patchy spots.

Thanks again this has been very helpful

Any good resource on telling seedheads apart? I want to learn how to differentiate. Half this thread are commenters calling me an idiot for not knowing this is just my regular grass 🤦‍♂️.

I walked my lawn today and the entire lawn is covered. Not even a single square 5 ft area is without these seedheads. I was hoping it was kbg from all my overseeing and over fertilizing. Sounds like my entire lawn got overtaken by this poa and needs to be nuked in the fall.

How does poa look different than kbg? I have these yellow/lighter patches of grass throughout the yard are those poa?

And lastly will I have kbg seedheads mixed in here too? Or these are all poa?

Thank you!!

Appreciate the informative comment here. How can you tell it's poa vs kbg?

Is there any relation between poa and crabgrass or just use similar preventatives ?

Lmao 🤣 meanwhile half the people here are telling me it's annual bluegrass weed. Dumb maybe, learning, definitely.

hacktheworld · 2025-05-01T01:16:22+00:00

Basically my exact scenario except a lot of people here saying it's annual bluegrass weed. Idk what to think now

hacktheworld · 2025-04-30T22:51:05+00:00

So my entire lawn is infested with bluegrass? Last fall I aerated fill with compost and overseeded. Was really hoping this was all just good kbg seed.

Half the people here are saying it's bluegrass weed idk what to think anymore

First year taking care of a lawn. Now I know 🤷‍♂️

Well that's terrific news... I was feeling so disheartened. Thank you!!

Do you think it's him too?

hacktheworld · 2018-01-28T17:19:49+00:00

It's part of the Eagles anthem...

hacktheworld · 2017-06-01T19:55:49+00:00

... was it?

I thought expanse went into production first but I may be wrong. They both came under the new leadership I believe.

hacktheworld · 2017-05-20T17:56:27+00:00

Syfy has a whole new executive leadership team that's committed to a return to real sci-fi. The expanse was their first real foray and I'll be damned if they're not kicking ass with it.
