It's about time and I am super excited! We have needed rain desperately here in Ga to get the core aerator to sink. It took a hurricane, but we did get some rain and the ground seems to be soaking it up nicely.

So, i've been planning this for a few weeks now and it's about time!

Core aerate
Spread lime
Spread grass seed (a mix of Creeping Red, Chewing, Hard, and Sheep Fescue I have lots of shade)
Top dress by hand (wheel barrow, a shovel, and a rake, maybe a fence too)
Irrigate

Anyone else excited?

I am just nervous about not mowing during the time I am irrigating and letting the weeds get mangy.

Heck yeah! :licking:After this warm spell (for around here:laughing is through, and the rain starts up again, I'll be back at my local big box store:ashamed:to buy another 100 lbs of Kentucky Bluegrass/fescue/whatever else mix, run the aerator, spreader etc. This is the time to start getting it all in a row so that next year's lawn looks like it magically "just happened".:wink::biggrin: I usually don't put any winter fertilizer on stuff until late October, after the new grass has had a chance to meet the world for a while.:smile:

Well,its up and growing!!!!

I need to figure out if I should use my push mower or my Tank to mow with.

The tank cuts better, but I am a bit afraid that the weight of the tank or the suction of the high lift blades would damage the new seedlings.

Thoughts????

Always push mow for first few times on new growth.
