General Grass Seeding Tips:

Timing:  Seed in the Spring or Fall when the soil temperature is 60 to 70 degrees

Preparation:  Ensure adequate drainage of your site.  Cultivate 4-6 inches with topsoil.  Incorporating a starter fertilizer will help provide proper nutrients for early growth.  Keep the seedbed firm, not fluffy.

Seeding:  Using a drop spreader or a broadcast spreader, spread half the seed lengthwise over your site, and then the other half crosswise over your site.  A recommended seeding rate is listed on the seed tag.

Moisture:  To help promote good seed germination, keep the newly seeded area consistently moist.

Maintenance:  Mow to encourage grasses to spread.  Do not mow to less than 3 inches in height. Overseed bare spots to minimize weed growth.  Spring or Fall are excellent times for overseeding.
