![]() The recoil wasn't just a broken rope so no quick fix. I had somewhere to be later and rain was coming. Rental place is closed on Sundays and home depot had no slit seeders. Yanked the rope and the recoil starter immediately broke. Next morning mowed and bagged around 2 inches. 5 days later I sprayed a second round of glysophate. This year I killed off a 30x100 section of my lawn. May as well be throwing as many pennies or dimes down along with it considering the money wasted. I've never understood over seeding - seems like you're just throwing a ton of seed down in the hope that a fraction of it actually grows. (and we had a downpour after I applied it, so it did get some help getting worked down to soil level) Over the following three WEEKS I kept an eye on the over seeded areas and while I have to consider the lower temps that occurred after the over seeding, there's really VERY little new growth from seed that is just tossed onto the ground. (the lawn is just a mix of grass and weeds) ![]() The following week, I tossed some seed out onto a few thin spots in the new growth and at the same time, I "over seeded" the rest of the lawn. I recently had to repair an area about 30'x30' in my back yard after raccoons tore up the lawn looking for grubs and after raking away all the grass, that's how I did it. I mix it up in a wheelbarrow, then toss it out across the grass seed to cover it. I'm FAR from an expert on seeding lawns, but for bare spots in my lawn, I mix peat moss and some sort of cheap, bagged topsoil that's not damp and clumpy. ![]() I've never seen results better than "Meh" if you don't cover the seed (placed on bare soil) with a top dressing of some sort.
