Can you fertilize and seed a lawn at the same time?

Seeding a new lawn with a starter fertilizer at the same time will ensure that the grass stalks get the nutrients they need to grow. You should not apply fertilizer and seed at the same time when seeding a lawn.



How long after fertilizing can you plant?

Apply weed to your lawn before you start seeding. Wait at least six weeks before you apply seed. You can use it once the grass has been mowed four times. This will usually occur between six and eight weeks after seeding.

You may also be asked if starter fertilizer can be mixed with grass seed. It is best to apply starter fertilizer before you start seeding, before you lay sod, or after your grass seed has been planted. To prevent your grass from burning, wait six to eight weeks before applying another balanced fertilizer after it has been planted.

Another question is: Can I apply lime fertilizer and grass seeds simultaneously?

We have been receiving a lot of questions lately regarding whether it is possible to apply lime, fertilizer, and grass seed to a lawn simultaneously. The simple answer to this question is yes. first do a soil test to determine how much limestone you will need for best results. Apply a pelleted lime with a lawn spreader.

What fertilizer should I use for overseeding?

Fertilize Overseeded Areas. Avoid weed and feed products. Pre-emergent herbicides can inhibit seed germination. Starter fertilizer such as Pennington Ultragreen Starter Feed 12-22-8 provides essential nutrients for new grass. Phosphorus promotes root growth and nitrogen encourages top growth.
