What is overseeding and should I do it?
Many people believe that they will have a green lawn all year if they fertilize. However, most grasses in the Lowcountry become dormant during the winter months. Overseeding is a process by which you seed over your existing lawn with ryegrass seed. Ryegrass is a cool season grass that will give you a green lawn. Also, overseeding helps keep out the weeds that tend to pop up during the winter months. This sets your lawn up for a great start in the spring. Are there organic options for fertilization? Yes, there are organic options for fertilization. You can maintain your lawn using natural, non-toxic products. Keep in mind that these options are typically a little more expensive than the traditional options. But, you can help protect the environment and still have a great looking lawn.
