My yard is a recovering corn field that loves to pump out all sorts of vicious weeds (big thick ones that laugh at the lawn mover) and also is filled with that lovely Crown Point clay. I've noticed a difference since spraying for weeds and putting down some lawn fertilizer -- I still need to aerate to break up the ground and thatch as well as throw down the starter fert to get things going really well. (I wish I had done that this weekend since it has been raining overnight and this morning). Since fertilizing, my lawn doesn't look that much different than the neighbors' lawns -- and they have professional lawn care services that come out every so often to spray fertilizer. Last year, we overseeded with a blend of three types of grass seeds, instead of just the standard KY bluegrass. The thought was that having different varieties would protect against disease. (Plus we were having fun scooping seed out of bins with all sorts of fun names that I can't remember now). Is it too late to overseed this year, or should I wait until the fall when the weather will be cooler? I’m enjoying seeing the lawn advice in action.
