| Silly mistake, a result of me having to rush my outdoor projects.
I applied Jonathon Green Crabgrass Preventer (not the one intended for seeding during the same season). Two days later I wanted to fill in some bare spots on my lawn so I dropped down about 2 inches of lawn soil in all those areas, hand-seeded some JG Black Beauty, then raked it into the loose soil. What's the worse that will happen, those seeds won't germinate? |

| It will probably germinate, as the preemergent forms a barrier in the soil and you have given the new grass an inch or two of new soil above the barrier. Once the roots get to the preemergent, they (the roots) could just stop growing, the chemical could stunt the grass plant as a whole, or it could kill it. Depending on the chemical you used, it might wear out by the time the roots get to it, and nothing will happen. What is the active ingredient in your preemergent?. |
