Make sure you aerate firstYou guys think it’s too late to fertilize or can I spread a little nitrogen out there still?

It’s called renovator, then for my next application in a month or so I have a weed and feed called seed safe. They are from Grass Pad.Is it weed and feed or just feed? Most spring weed and feed mix's have pre emerg in them so you won't get germination..
From experience, I'd hold off on any fertilizer applications until after spring green up and you know the weed situation is manageable. Or else you are just giving yourself some powerful weed blooms this spring...

Yep that’s the stuff. But now that I’m outside I think it might be too windy to seed anyways.Renovator®- High Nitrogen Slow Release Fertilizer - Grass Pad
A combination of fast and slow-release nitrogen fertilizer. Helps turf recover from stress and is a starter fertilizer for new seeds and sod.grasspad.com
This?
If yes, I wouldn't put it down until 3-4 weeks after your pre-emerg application. I would rather seed and feed in May/June then now and compete with weeds.
Just a backyard DIYer though, if expert turf folks would do it different..
RustShack - you’ll want to put step 1 of the “idiot guide” down first. Renovator is step 2 I believe (I live in KC area as well).Yep that’s the stuff. But now that I’m outside I think it might be too windy to seed anyways.
Id Like to think so, but I’m sure Iowa weather will give us another surprise before we flip the switch lolWhat are we thinking...a couple more weeks?

As far as I know you can lay it anytime. It might take longer to germinate, but some people do dormant seeding and lay it in the winter.I know grass doesn't germinate until 50 degrees and there is a risk of frost. When would be a good time to put some seed down to patch some spots? I tried to get them to take last fall but they never did. I thought with spring moisture it would help some to try it again.
