FERTILAWN recommends overseeding your lawn every fall. The highest germination rate will take place the first or second week of September.

Seed Types - Shady - use mixture of Poa trivialis, Creeping Red Fescue, and Pennlawn. Semi-Shady - Bluegrass 35% and Ryegrass 65%. Sunny - Bluegrass 80%, Ryegrass 10% and Fine Fescue 10%.

1. Use a stiff broom rake and pull out as much dead grass and weeds as possible without damaging your healthy grass.

2. Apply seed by hand or using a cyclone spreader and cover at least 95% of bare spots.

3. Rake seed in lightly for good soil-seed contact.

4. Keep areas moist every day until seed germinates.

5. When seed has germinated, water areas 2-3 times a week 1" to 1 1/2" in each area until fully matured.
