established, apply pre-emerge crabgrass preventer in early spring, weed & feed
in mid-spring. Use lime when pH is low. Water twice weekly when established.
Watering Your Perennial Fairway Classic Rye Grass
Water a newly seeded or overseeded lawn daily to maintain a constant source of
moisture for the seed. Do not allow the top ½” of soil to become dry. Once grass
begins to grow and establishes a lawn, reduce watering to twice a week with ½”
