Luck e 1 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I just aerated my lawn and am going to overseed. Do I need to put starter fert on the whole area where I overseed? I only ask because it would probably add another $50 to the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR21 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Its not necessary by any means, It just jump starts the germination of the seed but not necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crothmeier Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 i used it on the initial planting of my back yard and was suprised at how well and quick it came. it wouldnt hurt if its in your budget. i am goign to overseed and re-fertilize, but at a slightly less rate than i did initially.

paul pachowicz Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 well, ya don't hafta use it if ya don't wanna follow the advise of just about every turfgrass expert. The high second number, ie; 19-25 10, etc is to promote root development. I'd sure spend the extra few bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJH Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I would use it. You really want the roots to get going and established before the growing season is over and it goes dormant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
