Finally Grow Grass in Areas That Only Get 4–6 Hours of Sun.
If you’ve struggled to grow grass under trees or along the shaded side of your home, you’re not alone. Most standard lawn seed blends fail in low-light conditions.
This Shade Grass Seed Mix is specifically formulated to thrive in areas receiving 25–65% reduced sunlight while still performing well in sun-to-shade transition zones.
Why Shade Lawns Fail
- Limited sunlight reduces photosynthesis
- Tree roots compete for water and nutrients
- Poor airflow increases disease pressure
- Standard sun mixes lack fine fescue content
This blend addresses those issues directly.
What’s in the Mix — and Why It Works
- Fine Fescues: The most shade-tolerant cool-season grasses available. They require less sunlight and less nitrogen than traditional turf types.
- Perennial Ryegrass: Provides faster germination and early establishment.
- Kentucky Bluegrass: Adds self-repair capability and improved wear tolerance over time.
The result is a darker green, finer-textured lawn that performs better in filtered light conditions.
Best Used For
- Under mature trees
- North-facing homes
- Fenced yards with partial sun
- Sun-to-shade transition areas
Minimum recommended sunlight: 4 hours per day.
Seeding Rates
New Lawn Installation:
- 8–10 lbs per 1,000 sq ft
- Fully prepare soil and remove vegetation
- Apply Starter Fertilizer 15-20-10
- Top-dress with SeedAide Cover Grow to improve moisture retention
Overseeding:
- 4–6 lbs per 1,000 sq ft
- Core aerate before overseeding for best results
Shade Lawn Success Tips
- Mow higher (3.5–4 inches)
- Reduce nitrogen compared to sunny lawns
- Improve airflow by pruning trees if possible
- Check pH to verify it is between 6-7
- Water deeply but less frequently once established
Important: Do not apply pre-emergent before or after seeding. Products containing prodiamine will prevent germination.

Superman, a Dark Knight in the Skies
Format: Paperback
This is a beautiful tome of the first issues of Superman under Action Comics and the first Superman issue. Although providing the same texts of Chronicles, I find this series better because they have more issues per volume. In spite of its 390 pages, these volumes are light and easy to handle. Albeit the simplicity and innocence of these stories, Superman impresses me as a "dark knight" of the skies given his toughness with the bad guys. In these stories, he's got no compassion for criminals. He also defends the working class, stand for fair treatment of workers, and even takes an "isolationist" stance which was popular in the days before WWII. Another surprise for the first-time reader of this period is that Superman can't fly; he can only leap over tall buildings. There is no Krypton and no Daily Planet. The city of Metropolis is introduced for the first time in the second half of this tome. And Lois Lane is often relegated to unimportant journalistic tasks, while she has greater ambitions. It is a great experience to read these old stories in a beautifully designed tome. I hope they reproduce the others quickly.

This is Superman like you DON'T remember him!
Format: Kindle
I've been a fan for as long as I've been able to tie a bath towel around my neck, so diving into these early comics has been a real joy! The character was quite different in the beginning so if you're not familiar with Golden Age Superman this might be quite the eye opener. Here in these early comics, Supes certainly isn't the Big Blue Boy Scout you knew and loved in the Silver Age and beyond; early on, he's more like the Well-Meaning Big Blue Bully/Borderline Sociopath. Sort of like early Golden Age Batman: bad guys die, Superman (or Batman) kind of shrugs and thinks, "Well, they got what they deserved..." His relationship with Lois is a bit more desperate-seeming in a few places as well. In fact, he's almost a bit stalker-ish in his pursuit/attitude toward Miss Lane. You can thank DC editor Whitney Ellsworth and a few others for softening the rough edges and turning The Man of Steel into the virtuous character we have today.

This is my Superman
Format: Paperback
Before super villains came along, Superman fought corrupt businessmen and world leaders. In this volume, you get stories like Superman trapping a wealthy mine owner in his own mine so he can feel what it’s like for his exploited workers (as I type that, I thought of a great parallel that might get this review removed haha), forced warring leaders to settle their differences in person, and destroyed a ghetto to get the government to pay to give the poor people modern housing (today our government would just leave them homeless but I digress)
At some point in this volume, you get the first supervillain and it gradually goes away from this great Superman at that point but this Superman is my Superman, rough scripting/art and all

Superman: The Golden Age: Volume 1 Review
Format: Paperback
If you’re a fan of, or are interested in the Golden Age of comics, this book is for you. This is really the mainstream beginning of superhero comics. Before everything became mired in continuity, there were one-shot stories that were fun, and often dark. I definitely also recommend this for people who want to get into Superman as a character. For the price, the amount of content you get just can’t be beat.

This is a Superman I can believe in
Format: Paperback
This is the original Superman, the one who made the character a hit. His powers have limits - a fire threatens his life! - and he uses them for the little guy, against social injustice. One of the best stories, from Action #5, has Supes fighting a breaking dam and flood, but mostly he's fighting human crookedness - crooked lobbyists, crooked football coaches, crooked mine owners, crooked taxi rackets. This Superman is a law unto himself, dependent on nothing but his strength and his personal sense of right. He's a lot more like Samson in that way than he's a Christ figure, and the result is stories in which he lightheartedly smashes slums so the government will have to build decent housing for the poor, smashes cars of reckless drivers, smashes an oil well to bankrupt the crooked promoters. Private property means nothing to him. Neither do legal rights. He's not here to fight for law and order, he's here to fight for justice as he sees it. The police? the government? They're feckless at best, and more often they're part of the problem. There's a strong Progressive sensibility here: if institutions don't benefit the people, the people need to take charge and change things. That's the Superman we see here, and it's the Superman I like best - the original Superman with brute vigor, a passion for justice with no subtlety, and no taking himself too seriously. It's not art, but it's what made comic books. And it still stands up.
