Last year I tried all of the hints and helps and did everything they asked and NOTHING! This year I did my own thing...I want to take wagers on if you think it will take or not..
Seed is Scott's Hardy grass seed (given to me by someone locally who has used it and worked perfectly)
I took a garden weasel sort of thing (or my friend did I should say) and roughed up the top 2 inches or so of the current whatever is there (mostly dead after weeding and feeding 2 weeks ago)
Then I went over it with some good fertilizer for excellent soils nothing special just no weed killer.
Then I took some of my leftover decent soils etc from other things I have gotten from (old purchased pots with potting soil and extra soils) and did a light coating of that over the seed, the fertilizer and the seed.
Then I watered it in really really good..... and will do so for about a week.
OK who wants to take a bet on whether I will end up with another mostly dead lawn or something that looks fun to play on? Extra information...the extra heat is supposed to let up for about a week will be In the upper 70s and lower 80s no moisture from the sky to speak of, and nothing more to be done to it except water.... So here is your turn
1. you think it will do great be perfect and lush and all the lawn I want
2. you think it will do good, have some good spots but much better than I had
3. You think it will do ok...will be better than before.
4. you think it will do not very much
5. you thin k I wasted all my time and money
6. you're wondering why in the world I would ask such a silly question...
Ok pros and friends here's your chance to get your vote in..... The attached picture was before the weed and feed about 1/2 of what was there is now brown..
