I had a lot of weeds, so I killed all of them, and then was left with huge
bare spots. I fertilized and laid out soil. I don't know exactly how deep
the soil was but it was a lot. I bought the middle of the pricing of
scotts
seed, and it grew in excellent, but it took almost 2-3 weeks. Then I
fertilized and limed this past fall. It wasn't a new lawn, but I guess you
could say those areas were starting from scratch. These are fairly large
areas taking up about 2/3 of my back garden.
Where can I buy Pickseed. I don't recall seeing that brand before. When
do
you guys suggest I starting reseeding?
