A new lawn was started last summer. It was seeded with a commercial type of lawn seed. Most of the lawn had good germination but there are areas where nothing grew, not even weed type grasses like dandelions or quack grasses. The soil in the areas was loosened and reseeded with blue grass seed but that didn't grow either. The areas also had some lawn fertilizer added for newly seeded lawns. What is causing these areas to not have any growth of any type?

Winona County Minnesota

You might consider a soil test for those areas or probe those areas with something like a long screwdriver checking for buried objects.

As a last resort you might try sod.
