When is the best time (season or month) to plant new grass seed?

Answer 1

in the spring or fall

Answer 2

Kill weeds. It's not that easy either. You might have to spray more than once. If it is growing season where you live... first use a broad spectrum weed killer like roundup. Wait a week.... everything should be dead.... but some seeds may have sprouted. If that is the case... spray again. Then you wait another week (for the roundup to breakdown).... spread grass seed with a seeder so it is uniform.... and then either rake it lightly and spread a "starter fertilizer" or else cover it with a thin layer of seeding soil. Some people cover it with straw to keep it from drying (I find this plants more weeds). You MUST then keep the seed from drying out. If it dries after it sprouts it is dead.... so water frequently (and the seeding soil can help keep it moist). If all goes well you will have a thick lawn in no time. Be sure to buy grass seed at a local greenhouse..... they will have seed blends suitable for your area... as opposed to simple blue grass blends that you find at Home Depot. This will allow you to spend less on water.

When there is a choice, fall (September) is the best time to seed and spring (April) is the second best.

Fall is best time to plant a lawn in Pennsylvania

Most people are surprised to hear that fall planting is better than spring. For one thing, spring plantings face much more weed competition. But more importantly, as soon as spring-planted grass is up and growing, it has to face the rigors of summer heat and dry weather. Fall planted grasses have both the fall season and spring season to grow and mature before facing summer heat.

Answer 4

The best time to plant a new grass seed or any other plant seed is during the rainy season, (if ur area has much rainfall better do it in the spring season) because even when u forget to water the seeds, it will hatch during the rainy season, and also the soil will be moist ever..

Answer 5

Late summer is the best time of the year to plant grass seed. Mid-August through mid-September is the prime time for this activity, says Deb Brown, horticulturist with the University of Minnesota Extension Service.

"It doesn't matter whether you're starting a new lawn or over-seeding an existing one," says Brown. "Grass seeded in late summer will come up and develop a good root system to carry it through the winter. Next spring the new grass will come back even thicker than it was in the fall."

Most people plant grass seed in the spring. Brown says spring seeding is the next best thing if you can't seed by mid-September. "The main disadvantage of spring seeding is that many weed seeds will sprout right along with the grass seeds," she says. "Most weed seeds don't sprout in autumn."

For successful results from planting grass seed, good contact between the seed and soil is necessary. Brown recommends roughing up the ground to accomplish this. To prepare an existing lawn for overseeding, use a vertical mower (power rake) or core aerator. Light, frequent waterings will encourage seeds to germinate.

"It's a good idea to fertilize at the same time you plant grass seed," says Brown. "Use a lawn fertilizer formulated for application with seed, or a slow-acting, organic lawn fertilizer. Don't use so-called weed and feed products. The weed killers in those combination products will destroy the grass seedlings."

Answer 6

Depends on where you are, the package should tell you, buy seeds from a local store, if on Internet or mail order make sure you follow the instruction to order so you get proper blending and instruction on perfect time to plant.
