Seed planting

There are two times of the year when it is a good idea to seed your lawn and you may want to seed your lawn because you have a few bare spots in your lawn or maybe your lawn is not looking as full as you would like it to look. Once you have decided you are going to plant some seeds in your lawn, now it is time to think about when it is the right time to do so. The first time of the year you can do it is early spring. There are two reasons why it is a good idea to plant your grass seed in the spring. The first reason why planting your seeds in the spring is a good idea is that there will be plenty of natural rain water so you won’t have to be watering your lawn as much as you would normally need to. The second reason why it is smart to plant the seed in the spring is because you will be avoiding the hot summer days when the seeds would need a lot of water and would have a much harder time of successfully growing. The second time of the year that it is a smart time to plant your grass seed is in the late fall. Many people don’t think that this makes any sense because the seeds won’t be getting that much sunlight if any. The positive of planting in the late fall is that in doing so when the winter snow comes the weight of the snow will help push the seeds down into the ground making sure that they are well planted. Also the periodic melting of the snow will help feed those seeds of some of its water needs over the winter months.
