Dethatch to expose the soil. You're wasting your time if the seeds aren't touching any soil.nivek_k2020 wrote: ↑Apr 11th, 2019 7:15 pmIs this what I should use after over seeding my lawn so the birds don't eat the grass seeds?
I was chatting with a Scott's guy at home depot. He was super helpful. He advised to wait until temps stay above 10, including at night. I'm probably going to try this fertilizer plus their all in one 911 seed mix. Will it work? I don't know. My lawn isn't too bad but it's getting a bit patchy

I wouldn't spread fertilizer during the start of and during the hot summer. Stresses out the grass. Put this in the early or late spring. Maybe even early fall. Just put water in the middle of the hot summer.adams7 wrote: ↑Apr 14th, 2019 3:14 pmWhen should the first application of fertilizer happen? In BC coastal area the grass has a natural spring growth spurt and seems OK until about mid June, and that’s about when I spread the fertilizer first time, but maybe I should put it on earlier for better grass health. It gets really dry here in July-August and watering restrictions mean we sometimes must let the lawn dry out and turn yellow (it comes back with fall rain).
Mowed grass twice already.
