Here is the deal - just moved into a new house. The front was sodded, the back ended up being full of weeds and we are starting over. We bought RoundUp and killed all the weeds and grass. Everything. We plan on breaking up all the dirt and removing the old weeds and grass (is that right?). We are then renting an aerator and using a 3 blend of seed (as advised by the guy at the store) and a fertilizer. He said there is no need for straw. Then we are going to water frequently in small time frames and then infrequently in longer times frames once the grass gets growing.
For those of you who have done this, does that sound right? I am trying to figure it out by what I have read online and what I have been told at the store. Who knew growing grass could be so detailed/confusing!
Also, is it too early to plant the seed? (Like Septmeber 15th or 22nd.)
