How & When to Overseed Lawn?
Hello!
I’m new here! I have a tired front & back lawn and I would like to Overseed(I think that’s the word) as it has sparse patches and moss and some weeds that sprout out like in a star pattern?! Umm I'm a novice and would love to hear your thoughts on overseeding with say "canada Green" which according to the hype crowds out the weeds and estabs. itself fast with a good dark green lawn? Also is it okay to do the Overseeding Now? or should it be done in autumn? I have never aerated the Lawn before and have seen two tools that could do the job- the Lawn Aerator Sandals or the roller with spring loaded spikes. Which one is better and easier to use? http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs...s=lawn+aerator Can you please tell me if this plan of action is right? To cut the lawn to the shortest height. Attempt to remove weeds/moss. Aerate the lawn. Add sand/soil to top of lawn?(is reg soil/sand ok?) Fertilise Lawn.(what would you recommend?) Wait 4-5 days then Overseed. Water if no rain in 2 days? Keep lawn watered and no walking on it. Oh yes and the Soil has allot of clay under about 1-1.5ft depth. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks for your time Kev |

Thanks for your time Kev -- Clouddz Now's the perfect time to seed. The plan of action sounds ok as well. We sowed both our lawns from scratch on the 29th March 2 years ago and they were looking great after about 4 months. |
