Hey,
haven't been here for a while, but the lawn project I started last year has been coming along. I have to say that after almost 1 year, the tall fescue is definitely for the cheap and lazy. The kbg grass I planted looked real good at first, but even after added a bunch of fertilizer, twice, it just went brown. On the other hand, the tall fescue I got (rebel 4) is nice, and dark green even in the spots where I didn't fertilize. The only negative characteristic is that the blades are a bit wide, so if you get tall fescue, look into the seed your getting. I know kentucky-31 is in most tall fescue mixes, but the stuff isn't that great.
I have a question about your lawn though. Did you mix the bag before hand? If not, the KBG probably rose to the top of the bag because the seed is less dense, and the spots you planted first may be mostly kbg. If so, those spots might need more fertilizer.
