A farmer I am not, nor a expert on lawn seeding. Soooooooooooooo,

IMO. Only

I was told years ago that de-thatching is good for a lawn in the spring & fall & then mow the snot out of it. This helps a established lawn catch a breath of fresh air from the compacted clippings that accumulate from all the cutting one does.

I de-thatch my lawn this way & seems good. So I do it. When I 1st., started doing this the thatch if picked up would fill the cart 2x's.. That's a lot of compacted clippings. If anything this gives me more seat time & gives my feeble mind a feeling of doing something good & helping my lawn.

I would think that seeding would benefit a lawn better in the spring to promote new growth rather than fall? Why would one drop seed & just let it set all winter? Breaking up the soil somewhat & then seeding in the spring with some natural wetness would be better?

Like I said I'm no expert but.........?
