Scotts® Pure Premium® Sun And Shade® Brand (North) Grass Seed Mixture |
To overseed, mow grass closely, then loosen top 1/4 inch of soil in bare and thin areas. To seed a new lawn and repair bare spots, loosen top 2 to 3 inches of soil to provide a lodging place for the seeds.
Plant Seed: Distribute the seed evenly. For best results, always use a Scotts® brand spreader and follow the spreader setting recommendations on the bag of grass seed.
Fertilizer and Water Thoroughly: Apply Scotts Starter® Fertilizer to increase seeding success and then water thoroughly. WATERING IS CRUCIAL TO SEEDING SUCCESS. Keep the top 1/2 inch of soil damp by watering twice daily until all seedlings are up. Continue to water once or twice a day until the lawn is established (6 to 8 weeks).
Feed New Grass Plants: In 4-6 weeks, make an application of Scotts Turf Builder® Lawn Fertilizer. This helps the plants knit together to form a thick, green carpet of grass. Do not apply a weed control product until after at least three mowings. Mow new seedlings as soon as they reach normal mowing height.
