Wheeler: Pick the right time to overseed lawn in fall
Placeholder Image
For most of us, fall is for college football (go Dawgs!), cool, crisp air in the mountains, and raking leaves that fall and seem to get everywhere. It is also a time of year when many people consider overseeding their lawns so they have a nice green carpet of grass all year long. Over the years, annual ryegrass has been used to overseed a lawn, but lately the trend has moved to perennial ryegrass because it generally has better turf qualities, handles insects and diseases better and it is easier to manage.
