Question
I recently put down Scott's crabgrass and fertilizer preventer. The bag says to not seed for months...will i miss the normal seeding cycle?
Is there a seed that i can put down now that works with the Scotts?

Answer
Hi Mike.

If you have some bare patches that need seed, then go ahead and seed them. Just make sure to rough up the areas well and mix the seed into the top 1/2 inch of the soil.

If you need to seed the whole lawn, then the crabgrass preventer was a bad idea. It basically works by stopping seed growth. There is no special grass that won't be affected.

That all said, it's far less than 100% effective, and if you seed up a bare patch and even mix a little topsoil in, I have no doubt you'll see some decent growth.

Good luck Mike!
