Overseeding procedure
Hi, I have a small row home in Maryland. since the snow is finally melting,
I've started to think of the lawn. The grass on my small lawn is pretty thin so I would like to over seed. What is the best procedure for doing this. can the seed be applied directly to the soft wet topsoil or should I attempt to agitate the surface first. Also, what is a good starter fertilizer. thanks dave |

Rent a slice seeder,or at least a de-thatcher. Don't do it until it dries out some. Maybe wait a week or two. Also, what is a good starter fertilizer. 10-18-10 or 12-12-12 or 19-19-19 have all worked well for me. Take the first number on the bag(no matter which) and divide it in half..that's how many sq ft that bag will do at a generous rate. Email me if you need more help.
