Just doing an August overseed in the PNW
I live in the coastal pacific northwest. It is August and 65 degrees. Today when I did the bulk of this work it was actually foggy and misty. I love my summers here haha. I have a 2500sq ft TTTF and PRG lawn. I am having some troubles with thinning and poa annua invasion. We just finished a forestry project on our property to get more sun on our house so I knew it was time to fix the lawn too. I decided to do a comprehensive lawn fix. I scalped the lawn, then dethatched it. I sprayed pre emergent a mix of tenacity and I forget the one that kills poa annua. I then put down barenburg perennial rye grass with yellowjacket tech. Then I added about 4 yards of compost and raked that out on top. Then I added a starter fertilizer and hydetrain. I have noticed that even needing to keep my compost damp I am using less water. Now I just need to wait a month for some results.
