    The relatively short and cool summer in Michigan would allow Kentucky Bluegrass to thrive. Bluegrass likes cooler weather and will go dormant (turn brown) during hot weather with little watering. However Michigan doesnt get hot and stay hot so watering during the hot summer days should keep it looking nice.

    Generally it is best for filling in places like you are talking about to buy a mix of grass seed. It is sold in gardening centers all bagged up and mixed. Typically they will sell brands with varieties of grass premixed that are perfect for your area. With the mix of seeds you'll have several varieties to provide different grass growths at different times and under differeing conditions. This will patch a bad place better than just one kind of grass seed.

    Head to your local garden center (the closest good one may be in a larger city like Lansing/Detroit/Ann Arbor) and pick up some Kentucky Bluegrass. Make sure it's fresh. It might be easiest to start grass - a perennial - in spring.
