| So the temps have finally made up their mind here in Phx and we are only getting to start getting hotter. I have grass in the front and back yard now. The front looks GREAT. I havent done anything special to it. the back.. ehh. Id say 70% is grass, but its thin in most areas and then some spots its just dead/dirt. How should i go about just redoing *over seeding* the grass to have it all come in? I already cut the grass as short as i could today and have watered alittle more the normal so i can get a metal claw type rake in there. I figured I would rake up the loser ground just to air-rate it. throw the seed down and the lawn seed on top of it and water again. And of course water it like crazy. anything im missing? |

Wait till September. Trying to get new grass to grow going into the summer, especially the type of summers you get in AZ, is futile. ^^^This^^^ For now, just aerate and adopt a fertilizer schedule for the year. Come fall, when the weather cools down, rent a slice seeder and apply starter fertilizer. |
