Overseeding? Here’s How to Keep Weeds Out

Whether you're planting new grass seed or overseeding, the process of planting grass usually also stirs up weeds. Tilling soil, raking soil, watering all benefit grass seed, but they also stimulate weed seed that’s already in your soil. Fortunately, there's a way to nurture your grass seed without also encouraging weed growth. By using a little known preemergent that’s safe for grass, patching with sterilized starter material, and using good mowing practices, you can keep the weeds out.
