Lawn seed

[Eiger0304]

When is a good time to seed? Too early yet?

I'm going to wait a week or so yet here.  Lawn is too soft an wet.  I like to rake it in and don't want to rip up whats already there.  Go for it if your conditions are right.  Keep it wet.  My Ground temp was 40 this morning.  Whats a good temp for seeding?

You can seed when ever you want. It wont germinate its like 60-65 degrees during the day and the ground is 50 degrees and up when you seed before those temps that its called dormant seeding  a lot of people do it right before the ground freezes in the winter but it is done now too.

 

I wouldn't water it until temps allow germination otherwise you are just wasting water
