I am located in central NJ. I need to rejuvenate my lawn. Most of lawn will be in shade most of the day when trees bloom. Currently there is a very short grass with quite a few patches of moss. I would like to reseed and apply fertilizers. My questions are.

1. What is the best shade seed would you recommend

2. What is the best way to apply the seeds? (I would like to avoid renting seeding equipment. I will rack the entire lawn before seeding)

3. What type of fertilizers / Lime or any other chemicals I should apply.

4. Schedule of doing all of the above

There is a sprinkler system in place. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
