Overseeding - All items
Overseeding can renovate a worn or damaged area, increase turf grass density, or alter the species composition of a sward. Selection of seed is the first consideration. The provision of favorable germination and esteblishment conditions is fundamental to the success of any overseeding operation. You will find that temperatures above 54°F (12°C), a moist, well-aerated seedbed, close seed/soil contact, and reduced shade from esisting grasses are primary requirements for rapid development.
Soil aeration and thatch control must form part of a routine maintenance program so that optimum conditions are provided. Optimum contact with sail is important in order to enhance conditions for maximum germination. A moist seedbed is paramount and, if needed, irrigation must be light and frequent.
