At the end of a long hard summer you might notice that your grass is looking a little thin. As your lawn gets older it is natural for it to start thinning or even showing bald patches. This is no cause for alarm, all you have to do is take a few extra steps before you put your lawn to rest for the winter and come spring you will have a healthier lawn.
The best thing that you can do to get your lawn back in health is to overseed your lawn. Overseeding is where you apply more grass seed to your existing lawn. However, with overseeding you simply donâ??t want to throw the seed down and move on, there are certain things you need to do to ensure that the overseeding works.
The most important thing that you need to do is mow your lawn as short as possible. This allows the seeds to reach the soil underneath the grass, but it also allows water to reach the seeds to keep them moist. The other thing that you need to do is make sure you water the seeds to keep them moist. Once it starts raining or snowing you can stop watering the seeds.
