Hey Steveo,

I have a few questions I'm sure you can answer. I live in the midwest
and it stopped snowing in the valley, but its been in the upper 30's with
rain ever other day. My soils is claylike and my grass I think is a kentucky
blue grass, or a kentucky/rye not 100% sure on that. Anyways, my questions
are...

1.) When should I Aerate my lawn?
2.) When should I start fertilizing the lawn? (after the aerating which is
schedules for first part of april)
a.) and what fertilizer should I start with. (Scotts)
b.) If I don't plan on watering the grass for at least another month
should I even fertilize the lawn?
c.) If fertilze with not water will it burn the lawn?
3.) Dethatching... yes or no, or not really necessary?

As always thanks for your help in answering my questions, hopefully next
year I'll be helping others instead of
still recieving help!
