Default Lawn overseed process...

The only reason why I waited was because I hammered away at the
dandelions last fall with Scotts Winterizer Plus2, then this spring I
hit it with the Haltz Crabgrass, then I hit it ONE MORE TIME with moss
control, AND in a few more weeks Step 2 is coming. That little voice
in my head was saying, "wait till the fall, you have to much
germination control/weed killer down. Don't waste on the grass seed
yet."


See, I'm not a chemical guy so I can't help you on that one. I *THINK* most
of those are targeted at particular plants and grass is not among them so
you would be ok to go ahead and so. Perhaps someone else who uses chemicals
on their lawn will be better able to answer you on that 'un.

Yeah that seed is unbelievable. I can't wait to overseed with it.


What it's done in the front yard is just amazing. I'll be mowing again here
soon and reseeding an area that didn't do too well, see if I can't
revitalize that area as well.

That works! When I aerated, I thought I destroyed my lawn. But a
couple weeks later it showed me how happy it was! I wasn't getting
runoff anymore when it rained and the grass just started popping up
through the holes!

How about mowing??? Any advice? I'm just thinking, water it in a
little everyday and wait a week before I start mowing?


You want the grass to be about 3 inches high. You also don't want to mow
more than about 1 inch at a time with newer grass -- anything more than that
will put a stressor on the plant and may be it's end.
