..........Because certain seeds of choice -such as Kentucky Blue grass seed, takes 21 days to germinate, by the time you wait for the weed/crabgrass killer to dissolve in the soil, and the new seed takes so long to germinate, the new grass won't have enough time before the summer heat to fully grow. Overseed in the fall only, don't waste your money in the spring. There should also be a topdressing of peat moss and compost over the seed, don't just leave it there. Very Bad Video.

You can't over-seed in the spring, in the mid-west it is most important to drop a fertilizer and weed killer as soon as the grass starts to grow for the new season, pre-emergence crab grass killer also needs to be applied BEFORE April 15th, both of these products will keep and prevent new grass seed from sprouting....once weed killer and crabgrass preventer have been applied they will stay in the soil about 4-6 weeks........
