Getting Ready for Rye
Let's get your yard ready this weekend to plant Rye grass next weekend. Scalp your yard as low as your mower will go. If your seed can not get to the ground you will need to dethatch (meaning you would need to rent a dethatcher to remove excess grass,) so the seed can get to the soil to access nutrients to make your lawn healthier and greener.
Planting
You will want to start planting your Rye grass mid-September- October (weather permitting). A pound will cover 50-100 square foot depending on how thick you want your grass. You need to constantly keep your seed moist watering 3-5 times a day. A layer of mulch will help keep your soil moist between watering and New Lawn Starter will help with rooting.
Post Maintenance
You will need to water every 2-3 days depending on ground condition, fertilizing every 4-6 weeks and mowing regularly.
