Please add me to your list.

I had my front lawn dug up recently to replace a sewer pipe, and now need to plant grass there. I plan to work in some compost (old leaves from 1-2 years ago), then cover with fertilizer for new lawns, then seed.

Any comments?
Thanks

I’m not really sure about putting the fert on before you sow the seed. When we plant pasture, the grass is up and growing before we fertilize. Best way to be sure is checking the instructions on the bag of grass seed, or looking up the grass variety on the web and following the recommendations for fertilizing. It might very well give you a formulation recommendation as well, such as 13-13-13.
