Question on Fertilizing during Overseed

14 years ago

I am about to overseed my front lawn this morning and I need some advice on the best time to add starter fertilizer to the seedlings. Keep in mind that I dropped a bag of Milo on about 3500 square feet yesterday. Any info be much appreciated I do not want to overfeed. I also have some weed pressure so I am spraying Tenacity after I seed and topdress with peat moss. I scalped the lawn yesterday.

Since Milo is organic you will be fine to go ahead and put down starter fertilizer when you seed. But, it's been recommended on these forums to only put down half the recommended rate of starter now and then the rest in about 3 weeks.
