Recommended Seeding Rates:
- If your current coverage is less than 50%, total renovation or the New Seeding Rate is required.
- With coverage between 50-75% use the Overseeding Rate.

We strongly recommend applying a new lawn starter fertilizer at seeding. It is specifically formulated to stimulate strong, vigorous root development.
