Yes. Even better, Leafgro.

Dig up lol

If you are patching dead spots fig up dead grass.

People have all these strict rules.....just do it when you have time. Anytime between mid sept to mid october is probably fine. Its just grass. 99% of people aren't trying to make a golf.course.

Between Highs of 80 and lows of 50. This week.

I put the seed down late September. It will sprout when conditions are right, which might not be immediately.

Almost did it today but decided it's still a little too hot. Maybe next week or weekend.

Theoretically around grass tillering time at the equinox. But I was tempted this week with all the cool damp.
Are you overseeding or patching? Don't forget to water. If you won't water, throw it down in December and let the snow soak it in and it will sprout in spring.

When this fall do you think is a good time to throw down grass seed?
