Drought and Fungus...Overseed or Fert with Pre-em

Post by dantis496 » September 1st, 2022, 4:58 pm

Hi All,

Southern New England Northern mix lawn has taken a beating with drought (even with irrigation) and I believe I have Brown Patch. KBG lawn is ok except for a few spots.

Should I let nature take its course and just put down my Fall Fert with Pre-em or overseed the lawn with patch ? (Obviously no pre-em)


Thank you

Depends if you are worried at all about winter annual weeds. No one can tell what your exact concerns might be in your lawn.

If you’ve had issues with winter annuals and the lawn is KBG, I might lean toward an aggressive fall fertilizer plan. But I think relying on a poll that doesn’t really know your local conditions is a mistake. It’s why I didn’t vote.
