Over seeding ???

Hi all, just wondering, I overseeded last week here in western NJ zone 6? I
think. My yard/lawn took a severe hit because of last summer's severe
drought, many bare patches/thinning etc. Anyway, I am assuming that I
should avoid using a fertilizer unless it's an organic pellitized one,
correct? What about pellitized lime? Would using that hinder new growth?
Thanks...
Use a fertilizer with the word "Starter" in the title. Starter
fertilizer won't harm the seedlings, in fact, the seedlings need it.
Avoid weed killers and pre-emergence, at least for a few months. A
summer drought will kill the new seedlings, making fall overseeding a
better choice.
