What should I do for over seeding my lawn?

Answer by  Latin4 (11170)

If the grass has already come up I would thatch some of the grass out. If you have put too much seed down leave it alone until it grows.

Sprinkle birdseed on it. This will attract birds, who will eat some of your grass seed as well as the birdseed. You can then reseed patches that get too bare.

Prepare the soil for seeding, then scalp the existing lawn. Lay down the seed using a drop spreader or just by doing it yourself. Make sure that you water your new seeds everyday. Two thirty minute watering sessions are a good way to make sure those seeds are hydrated. Be careful not to overwater them.

You should overseed in the Spring and in the Fall which is the best time of year to do this.
