Slit seeding is done with a machine that cuts slots into the yard. Where the slot are cut into the grass that is where the seed is place into the slots. The seed is indirect contact with the soil so this provides the best situation for successful germination. Normally this process is done in both directions horizontally and vertically to make sure that we don’t miss a spot. Also with going in both direction that allows plenty of seed to germinate into healthy grass.
The best time to seed is Late August and the month of September. After we are done slit seeding we apply a starter fertilizer to help speed up the process in growing a beautiful looking lawn. The starter fertilizer also helps in the deep growth of the root system.
