This is my first time posting in this forum and I have a question. I have a neglected back yard that needs to be graded and reseeded. I dont want to reseed until fall, I have heard that is the best time.

Is there a covercrop that I can grow through the summer that can be mowed regularly and then will die come fall or winter. I dont want to have to worry about it coming back and taking over next year.

I also have children that like to play outside so leaving it unmowed is not an option.

I have searched through the forum and most cover crops seem to be used in the winter. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you
