Grass Question

[Jo-Anne]

HI Folks - hope it's ok to ask a grass question even tho this forum is for garden and flowers! We had some grass die on us last year due to extreme heat and a lack of water. Interestingly there are green patches surrounding these dead areas, so not sure why some survived an others did not. We're thinking about throwing down some seeds this spring. Now that the snow has just left us here in Toronto, wondering what the best time is to throw down some seeds and are there any techniques that work best. Thanks, Jo!

Here's a link to a site that has a segment on how to overseed your lawn.

Hope that helps!

What type of grass?

[Jo-Anne]

Olena - you've stumped me...I thought grass was grass!!! Just looking to reseed over plain old ordinary lawn grass...type that would grow in Southern Ontario! Can you see I'm pretty basic with this stuff!

Is it fescue? Different grasses have very different needs.

Maybe this (http://www.city.kingston.on.ca/residents/waste/leaf-yard/lawncare.asp) will help...:D
