when you overseed, are you using a slit seeder, or just using a broadcast spreader?

I'm assuming the aeration and top dressing will be sufficient. Turf is in pretty good shape just needs some TLC. Fortunately I have an irrigation system as it's a decent amount of grass. Just upgraded to a new controller, everything from the phone. It's slick. |

sounds slick. i have sprinklers too, and i need to overseed, wondering if i can just spread seed ( after aerating) or is it worth getting a slit seeder. good
time of year to do it. good luck, bet it comes out great.

I think it depends on the quality of your existing turf. If you have bare areas slice seeding might be better. |

no it’s good and thick, just needs a boost. i wasn’t sure if using a broadcast spreader would get the seed low enough to make contact with soil, because the existing grass is thick.

If you haven't aerated in a while that would probably be good. |
