    I'm looking forward to when my yard looks even close to how your yard looks. My backyard was overseeded two weeks ago, and now I'm looking forward to its first mow after overseeding. I just overseeded the front yard this past weekend. I'm staying up on my watering and keeping the seed moist. I have some weed pressure already, but I plan to take care of that with some Tenacity. Thanks for all the great content. We appreciate what you do! 💯

    I’ll never use a starter fertilizer the same day as an overseed again man.. Shit grew like 4” in 3 days lol I was hella pissed ended up having to mow it 13 days in I’m unhappy about it.. And I been getting banged up by dollar spot of course ended up with 3” of rain in two days and did some serious damage.. idk I might give it another week let the seedlings grow some more than throw out some more seed. The weather in Jersey has been ass this summer and early fall crazy humid and hot

    • @LawnAmateur

    I used the scotts triple action and I seeded some spots, it's doing a great job on the crabgrass, but it took 2 weeks for the seeds germate and it's taking longer for the the baby grass to grow, this was 3 weeks ago, I spot seeded the back yard without the triple action and it grew much faster, I would definitely recommend the triple action but wait until the seeds grow a little bit.

    Hello, I am in Cleveland Ohio. I dethatched/scarified and overseeded over Labor Day weekend. I was very aggressive with the scarcifing. I used Scott’s Sun And Shade Blend Seed. I used Scott’s Starter Firtilizer. The seed started to germinate about day 8. Now the temps are high in the upper 60s and low of low 50s. I am worried that the sprouts/spikes grow will slow down and the remaining seed won’t germinate. Should I be worried or will the yard continue to grow and the seeds will still germinate?

    • @LawnAmateur
      @LawnAmateur  Рік тому +1

      No thats fine they'll continue to grow. The grass seeds germinate fast then the grass will get to a faze where it'll slow down on top growth because the roots are developing then the top growth will resume. Just keep watering and don't worry

      @@LawnAmateur gotcha,but at this point you would be dropping your watering cycle at 30 days right? So the new seed would not get as much water and may not germinate or and if you water more of the older lawn wouldn't you risk getting some disease. I overseed my lawn this year with tall fescue and I put down some bio advance same day as seed. It seems to help.
