Fall overseeding
I'm starting to get my 1450 ready for the fall when I will need to overseed the lawn. My front lawn gets about 10-12 hours of full sun and with water at $10/768 gallons here, watering is not something that can be done too often, so by the time fall comes the lawn looks a little tired. Got a hold of a 3 pt aerator and a walk-behind dethatcher/verticutter so I'm ready to go equipment wise. Still undecided between Lesco and Bullseye tall fescue seed, might spend the extra dollars and go with the Bullseye since it's the top performer in my area in NTEP tests. The thing that puzzles me, is the correct procedure for overseeding. I have been reading forum after forum, page after page, and advice is plentiful for contradictory:
- Dethatch first to increase the change of seed to soil contact. - Don't dethatch, it's not recommended or needed for tall fescue. - Dethatch then aerate then seed so the seeds can go in the holes. - Aerate then seed then dethatch to break up the plugs. - Seed first then aerate and dethatch. - Fertilize at the same time you put down the seed. - Never fertilize at the same time as putting down the seed, wait until the new grass starts to come out. etc. etc. I finally found the North Carolina Cooperative Extension site, where you can "ask and expert". Great I thought, let me get some advice from the pros. Some lady answered me and said to till the whole lawn  . I may have some dry spots but that's hardly necessary. So what do you all do when it's time to overseed?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
