The reason the grass isn't growing is becasue the pine trees make the soil too acidic. The grass doesn't like it so it won't grow.
Get some lime, and spread it over the areas you are trying to grow grass. Apply the lime at double the ammount the bag says to. Then let it sit until at least 1/2 inch of rain falls, then put the seed down.
Actually, you're whole yard could benifit from the lime.
I prefer the pellitized becasue its not dusty and dissolves slower so there is little chance it will "burn" the grass.
) and it had a bike rack on it! Anyone seen this one before???
