| Hi! We rototilled the whole yard last fall, and planted brand new seed. We have a good amount of grass that started coming up during the late fall, and it made it through the winter, but it's not a thick, full lawn yet. What do we need to do now that spring is coming? Should we lime, fertilize, put down more seed? What order would we do these things? Thanks! |

| Apply a pre-m to perevent weed seed germination (use tupersan or tenacity if you want to overseed). Apply an N fertilizer monthly (starter fert can be used) as during the first year, a new lawn needs plenty of food. Water regularly when there is no rain. Spot spray any existing weeds with WBG or if you overseeded use Tenacity untill the germiated grass has been mowed a couple of times. Winerize at the end of the year and then use standard schedules for fertilization starting next year. |
