Yarrow lawn?

9 years ago

Anyone here have experience with planting a yarrow lawn? I am having trouble finding resources. I am very excited to be planting my first yarrow and tall fescue lawn and have done a lot of research on the topic. I don't want a dead brown lawn in summer. I am planning on planting 5lbs per 1000 sq feet of tttf and then will plant my yarrow 1 to 2 weeks later. My question is, how exactly do I do that? No one seems to know for sure. Some people tell me I should plant 1 lb of yarrow per acre while others say I should use 3/4 of an oz. Per 200 (not 2000) sq. Feet. Both of these suppliers are sure they are correct. My test plot of 3/4 oz. Per 200 sq. Feet was overwhelmingly crowded with no grass, but the yarrow seemed to do well once it outcompeted itself. I like yarrow and would prefer more yarrow than grass (maybe 70 percent? What is best?) Also, I am thinking about doing 3 passes and mixing my 1/2 lb of yarrow into 20 lbs of corn grit to carry such small seeds since when I tried planting they tend to clump. I really don't want to mess this up but no one seems to have done this before. Thanks for your time.
