Is it too late to overseed in the next couple weekends?
competitiveimageland said:what kinda grass seed mix are you using. most turf seed mix's are perenial rye grass so shouldnt be much of a problem , just dont expect to see an overwhealming appearing in another few weeks prolly wont see a difference till spring. think the germination rate drops 20% per year with seed from what i remember could be wrong though

All the things I have read and heard say its ok to overseed fescue and rye now. If it goes dormant before it has a chance to get going, then it will come up in the spring.The landscaper said:Is it too late to overseed in the next couple weekends?
Yeah, thought of that and had to edit....befnme said:envy i think he means like a cover crop or a green winter lawn .
