Reseeding of bare spots in your lawn can be done
most of the year. An ideal time is in the late summer or early
fall. You shouldn't reseed if there won't be time for the grass
to become established before the winter cold. Reseeding can be
done to fill in a thin or brown patch of grass. Follow the steps
below to reseed your lawn.
First, remove all weeds, dead grass and debris
from the area being reseeded.
Loosen the soil to about three inches deep.
Rake in some fertilizer to help nourish the
seeds as they sprout.
Wet the soil.
Scatter the seed as recommended on the package.
Gently rake in the
seed; just enough to give it some cover.
Lightly tamp the soil.
To protect the seed, cover it with straw or
netting.
Keep the soil moist. It is best if you can
water the seeded area twice a day.
