- 146Why is my overseeding failing to grow?Bare seed baking in direct sunlight results in poor growth, while failing to keep the grass continuously watered—even after it reaches four inches tall—kills new development. These missteps prevent Bermuda grass from successfully filling in bare spots.
- 26Can I plant grass seed in 90 degree weather?High heat prevents cool-season grasses like turf-type tall fescue from germinating properly and stresses young seedlings. Tossing seed down now without waiting for temperatures to drop below 85 or 90 degrees usually results in wasted seed and dead grass, which is why many landscapers choose to postpone seeding until late September.
