Overseed with 1" Rain expected?

Hi All,

I had the lawn dethatched and aerated yesterday and was going to over seed. However we are forecast to get 1" of rain on Friday. Would you over seed before or wait until after? Not sure with aerating if seed will wash away, or into the holes????

Thank you!

I think you would experience, at a minimum, potential redistribution of your seed. Some will settle it though.

If watering isn’t an issue, I’d wait if the next week looks good or maybe do half now, half after?
