And here's a further tip for you. My five year old became obsessed with putting lines on our lawn so he could "play" soccer in the yard. It turns out that all-purpose flour is a perfect substitute for chalk if you need to line your lawn to look like a soccer pitch.
I gave up trying to grow grass in NC. It's impossible if you don't have sprinklers. I seed every year, it looks great in late fall and early spring then dies and turns into the wild west of weed by June. I think Scott's is just scamming people who THINK it's worth the hundreds of dollars a year.
