Q&A - When is a good time to seed bare areas in my fescue lawn?
Question:
When is a good time to seed bare areas in my fescue lawn?
Answer:
Fescue is a cool season grass. In the southern United States cool season grasses grow in the fall and winter. UT Extension Agent Booker T. Leigh says the best time to sow seeds is when the grass starts growing in the fall. He recommends using a garden rake or even a tiller to loosen up the soil a little to help the seeds make good soil contact. Also, keep the ground moist until the new plants are established. Booker says you may want to come back in March and overseed the area again to get a thick stand of grass.
