HOW TO SOW SEEDS OF SUCCESS
By Dr. Bill Daniel
Consultant to Lawn-Boy
Don’t get spring fever.
That’s good advice when it
comes to seeding or overseed
ing your lawn in early spring
when the weather is still too
unpredictable to assure the
warm soil and consecutive
mild days needed for maxi
mum seed germination. Re
seeding and repair work
should be started as early as
practical, but the key is to be
practical. Seed (cool season
grasses) normally germinates
during the first extended
warm spell, which can be the
first week of April in the
Midwest.
Ideally, seed placed ’A-to-Va
inch deep in the soil has the
best survival potential. First
spread seed in areas needing
repair and then rake lightly.
Next spike, slice and overseed
to make additional openings
and to press seed into the soil.
Finally, top-dress spots with
soil from flower beds or your
garden and then hand-water
the lawn to help wash seeds
into the soil. Generally, it is
wise to water a newly-seeded

• Watering in Sunshine
Hurts Grass— Not true! The
most valid reason for not wa-
tering during the heat of day
is that more water will be lost
through evaporation. Grass
will dry more quickly, thus re
ducing the chance of spread-
ing disease.

lawn daily until the grass is
an inch high. Keep your lawn
moist, but don’t saturate or
flood it because too much
water can cause seedbed
erosion and even inhibit
germination.
Fertilizers and grass seed
will cost up to twice more than
last spring, but never has more
selection been available to do
it-yourselfers. Ten new blue
grass varieties are available
at modem garden shops.
The new perennial rye
grasses, including Manhattan
and Pennfine, are superior to
older types. If your lawn needs
a quick initial cover, put down
a ryegrass, which germinates
in three to seven days. Blue
grasses are noted for tight,
dense turf and have more di
sease resistance.
A final suggestion. If you
didn’t have your lawn mower
serviced and the blade sharp
ened before putting it away
last winter, do so now. Lawns
cut by dull rotary blades are
unsightly because each blade
of grass has a brown, ragged
and chewed edge—a condition
that also makes grass more
susceptible to disease □
