Hello
Well after the stump grinder did the Magnolia Tree stump grinding, I raked the chips and added 9 bags of Home Depot's cheapest loam and starter fertilizer. This planting was done after lime was added to the whole front yard. When I planted good contractor seed in the spring, I got 2 or 3 small clumps of green grass in that big void!! Very disappointing!
So this fall, I got Scott's Fall Mix with the coated seed that needs less watering and Scott's starter fertilizer. Now as and added benefit I happen to come across some super rich loam! This loam is black as pitch and even when the sun bakes it, it turns slightly gray!! I have never seen anything like it and hopefully it will be the magic that the soil needs!
Has anyone found or used some really good loam or top soil for better results in patching their lawn.
See pics below.

1st & 3rd pics shows the bare spots covered with the black loam and seeded and fertilized
