Default Overseeding before snowing

Hi,

My backyard lawn needs overseeding. I wonder if it's a good idea to do it
right before winter. We have a few month snow covering in Midwest Canada

My thought is to overseed right before snowing, and they will germinate
early next spring after snow melting. Or the seeds will die in winter?

Thanks,

John

Hi John.

You can do that if you delay your pre-emergent crabgrass control until May
and you use Dimension. That will give your seedlings more establishment
time next spring.
