overseeding help !

11 years ago

Hi All,

I have a 5000 sft lawn with tall fescue, in the front and back. It was pretty bad this year and it being the second year at this house (and a new construction) ... i wanted to make it better.

Late last year i sarted moving towards organics - and am using soybean meal, Alfalfa.

The lawn was in pretty bad shape - bare spots - and the grass not thick at all etc..

So I de-tatched around 9/17, end of sept aerated, overseed with 25 llbs of lesco transition seed around 10/1 and added alfalfa at the same time.

I watered 3 times a day about 5 mins at a time. The lawn looks much better - many spots have been filled in. There is a lot of baby grass (if i may call it so).

Now when i take a closer look it is still not very thick - dense.so here are my questions:
1. should i do another round of overseed or just wait till next year and do it in fall.
2. if i overseed now will it germinate and establish in time before the winter.
3. it has been 4 weeks - so can i add another round of alfalfa ?

I have sent out samples for soil test to the local county and am waiting for it.

Any help or advise is greatly appreciated :)
Have a great day and weekend !

Thanks and regards
Gmanar.
