Uses:

Denim is recommended for use on athletic fields, golf courses, sod blends, parks and professional landscaped areas where Kentucky bluegrass is adapted. It is compatible in blends with Turf-Seed's darker green, lower growing bluegrasses in mixtures with strong creeping red rescues and improved "II" and "III" series of turf-type perennial ryegrasses, and up to 10% in a turf-type tall fescue mixture.

Soil, Climate and Fertility Requirements

Denim performs well in sand or heavy day softs. Denim performs best in soils with a pH of 5.5 to 8.0. Two to four lbs. N(Nitrogen)/1000 sq. ft./year is adequate in most areas of the United States. Because of Denims low maintenance performance, lower fertilizer rates will yield quality turf. A balanced fertilizer ratio of 3:1:2 NPK with sulphur is recommended in most geographic locations.

Stand establishment

Denim requires about 3 weeks for complete germination. Denim has good mowing qualities and can be maintained at a cutting height of 5/8 to 2 inches.
