Steps For Overseeding or Reseeding Lawns
-
Test the soil with a simple
pH
soil kit to check if your soil is acid or alkaline. If
acid (a pH of 6 or less), apply a fast-acting dolomite
lime at the rate of 50 pounds per 1000 square feet. If
alkaline (a pH of 7 or higher), apply a granular gypsum
at the rate of 50 lbs per 1,000 square feet.
-
Mow or clip existing grass as closely
as possible.
-
Lightly rake or aerate the soil where
the existing grass is growing to allow the new seed to make
contact with the soil.
-
Using a
spreader, spread the new seed
at recommended rates.
-
Rake the seed into the soil no deeper
than the recommended planting depth for your particular
variety. There needs to be good seed to soil contact, and
make sure the seed is not planted too deep.
-
Keep the area watered according to
watering instructions until germination. Germination varies
according to seed type and weather conditions.
-
Do not apply any type of herbicide or
pre-emergent until approximately 3-4 weeks after planting.
These chemicals can burn the tender seedlings.
