Aerating the lawn.
 

How early can I aerate my lawn? I live in Camp Hill PA and have a 4 day
weekend coming up and would like to tackle this choir while I have the time.
I did aerate my lawn last fall, but have been told it can be done in both
the spring and fall seasons. Should it be done in both seasons or just one
of them? I will most likely over seed as well after aerating, but don't
want to start it now if it's too early in the season to be effective.

Thanks,

-Jerry

You can do it now,as long as the soil isn't too wet. Which it may be.

....Also,don't apply any crabgrass preventer this spring,if you're seeding.

That's my only other concern. We got 1.5 inches of rain 3 days ago. I
don't want to be causing more damage than good with the aerator machine.

Not only the damage,but the core aerator will not pull decent plugs from
soupy soil,you'll end up with a inferior job...best to wait a week or two.

I may just do that then. Wait a week or so. Last year it was so dry that
the aerator machine had no problems pulling plugs out of the yard.

Thanks,
