Question 1

How soon can I throw down some new seed? I would like more kentucky blue in my lawn.

Accepted Answer

you have created a force field. only way is to put down new loam 1/2'' thick then seed . late august aerate lawn then seed,& do it like your feeding the chicken & those hens are hungry. next year you will not believe, keep your deck clean & blades sharp.  GOOD LUCK

Question 2

Okay to use in August?

Accepted Answer

I have Poa Annua and have been doing a lot of research on it. Many websites with information about Poa Annua say for effective control, besides Spring treatment it is good to put pre emergent down in August/September. Here is a quote from the Purdue University Extension website: "Poa annua is a winter annual that germinates in the late summer/early fall once soil temperatures fall below 70o F. Seedlings mature in the fall, overwinter in a vegetative state, and flower and produce seed in late spring and early summer." I just chatted with Scott's website and they said this product can be effective when used in this manner. I plan to apply it then AND next Spring. Most of the lawns in my development have been taken over by Poa Annua but I am still fighting the fight and hope to win or at least keep it to a minimum.

Question 3

I just applied Crabgrass preventer. How long must i wait to lay down seed to grow grass?

Accepted Answer

You don't. You wait till late summer to winter to seed. Crabgrass preventer will negatively affect seed for one, because it will be rooting right into the chemical barrier. If it even does come up it will not do well and likely die during the heat of summer unless you are in warmer areas.. Secondly Disturbing the soil will bring up crabgrass seeds. Deal with the bare areas, treat the weeds and seed later.
