I just installed a new septic tank & drywell last fall,this spring I would like to put down new grass seed the problem I have is that I can`t aford to put down topsoil at ths time,My question is this,Is there any type of grass seed I can put down that will grow in regular dirt?I`m not looking for an award winning lawn just something green.I friend told me to throw out some rye,Does this sound right?I live in Michigan and the section is about 60’x30’Thanks,Any help would be great, Steve

Just “regular dirt” is what most people’s yards are growing in, so you should be ok. You might want to choose a grass seed mix containing- bluegrass, rye, and fine fescue. Also consult a local nurseryman on the fertilizer and lime requirements for your area.
