The back yard is HUGE (not 1/3 acre huge, but very large for a relatively small house) and there is already a back patio and a large vegetable garden (about 20'x10'). the area that needs to be reseeded is probably a little more than 1,000 square feet.
If you've done your research already, both the Thunderturf (tm) and Habiturf (tm) will require 3-4 pounds of seed per 1000 square feet.
The areas being reseeded range from full sun (most of the area) to mostly shade (a small strip along the fence line). Both Thunderturf* and Habiturf* are labeled for 'full sun'. All this really means is that we don't expect it to do super fabulous in the shade. That is fine - areas where the grass doesn't grow are just areas that need plants instead of turf. Also, what type of experiment would this be if we didn't do the full range of lighting? We're already forgoing the control group.
*It's going to get annoying and Andrea will kill me if I set a precedent of doing (tm) every time we type "Thunderturf" or "Habiturf". Thus we will have to agree that whenever you see "Thunderturf" or "Habiturf" you will just have to add that TM in a circle after it.
