Starter fertilizer isn't going to do much to rejuvenate a 25 year old
lawn with problems. If you have fescues for example, the plants don't
spread to form new ones. What's there can expand and grow larger,
but if it;s taken a big hit and is on the decline, best to either
overseed or kill it and start over in the Fall
I'll probably overseed it in the Fall. Now is probably a little late
in Indiana? ALso , the grass is all sod, if that makes any differenc.
