Its getting late in the season but if you mow your lawn very short and
aerate you'll have better results.

Here in Iowa i, it is going to be winter sometime soo. Has anyone ever
just
put seed on the ground before winter and let is soak down into the
ground
over winter ? Any success ? I am new at this lawn seeding process and
how
I
need to do it ? How do I have to prepare the ground to be successful ? I
have a large yard and can't pay a professional to do it.
Thanks,
Raz

Hi Raz,
I'm in Nebraska and would like to seed my lawn in the same way you
describe.
I'm a nurse, and work rotating shifts and would like to overseed my lawn,
but don't have a lot of time to do it. I'd like to be able to rake up my
leaves and put down seed and hope that it comes up in the spring. I just
don't have a lot of time to spend on prep, but my lawn is getting sparse,
and a lot of weeds are allowed to come in.

Hoping someone can chime in and tell us if this is possible.

Thanks,
Brigitte



Brigitte,
Sounds about like our family, my lawn is only 2 years old and in rural
Iowa so I have been fighting weeds and thistles.
I also hope someone can tell us if this will work.
