Overseed Your Lawn mid-August
It is the perfect time to overseed your lawn!
Our grass seed experts recommend overseeding August 15th to September 15th in the Chicagoland expanse.
When seeding lawns, use grass seed appropriate to your site. The best choice for nearly lawns in northern Illinois is a mix of Kentucky blue grass, perennial rye, and fescue seeds (Platt Hill Nursery Landscape Mix/Total Sun). If seeding in a shaded area, purchase a shade-tolerant mix. Cultivate soil downwards to a few inches and circulate grass seed and starter fertilizer according to bundle directions. Comprehend with loose harbinger to prevent wind or bird damage to seeds. Keep soil moist until seed germinates.
Grubs
Annual white grub damage will begin to show up this month as browned-out areas of turf that pull back hands, like a carpet. Grubs chew grass roots, resulting in turf that lifts up. Minor harm is normally not cause for handling. Pull back turf and count grubs (white C-shaped larvae with black heads); 10 to 12 per square foot is considered enough to treat.
Homeowners might notice a chewed-up advent to their lawns if grubs are numerous. Skunks, raccoons, and birds will tear up grass searching for grubs, especially at night, sometimes doing more impairment than the grubs themselves.
