Planting Grass in Janesville WI

Hello everyone. It is a good time to plant grass seed, since we are expecting rain in the Janesville, Wisconsin area. Remember to rake the soil and wet it down a little before laying your seed. Once the seed is down it is important to not let the ground dry out for a good week. Don't soak it down, but only keep the soil moist.

It is recommended not to cover with hay, since you can introduce weeds. If you want to cover the seed then use a sterile mulch. There are those who recommend planting new grass in September because the new sprouts will establish and come right up in the spring. When planting seed under trees or other shady areas use a mix special designed for low light. Good luck and feel free to comment with any other advise.
