“How late can I over seed this fall?” (this is not a recording!)
October 15’th is the end of the prime. From there it tails down to about mid November. In the middle time the seed might germinate and then crap out over the winter. After Thanksgiving it might be better to do a dormant seeding. The seed will sit there all winter and settle nicely into the soil with the freezing and thawing.
You can still do Winter fertilizer. 28-0-11 works great. Also, if your soil test calls for potassium go ahead spread 5lbs per 1,000 square feet.
It is Probably Too Late to Overseed this Fall (1:22)
Good night!
