Garden World’s Guide to Gardening -Treat your lawn to fall grass seed!

As we move into September, now is the perfect time to give your lawn the attention it needs before winter arrives. By taking a little time this month, you’ll set your lawn up for strong growth and a lush green look next spring. Cooler nights and warm soil create the best conditions for seeding, feeding, and repairing summer damage, so acting now makes all the difference.

Jonathan Green Black Beauty Fall Magic Grass Seed is specially designed for fall seeding projects. Whether you’re overseeding an existing lawn or starting a brand new one, this seed mixture is formulated to thrive during the autumn planting season.

Fall Magic is especially effective for repairing damage caused by summer stress, disease, or insects. The varieties in this blend perform best when planted between September and November, taking advantage of warm soil and cool nights. Germination typically occurs within 10–14 days, giving your lawn a head start before winter.

For the Best Results

Prepare

• Mow your lawn on the lowest mower setting before seeding to ensure seed reaches the soil.

• Use a metal rake to loosen the soil, remove thatch, and clear debris. Add topsoil to fill in holes and level low spots.

• Consider a soil test to check pH levels. The ideal range is between 6.2 and 7.0.

Seed

• When to apply: The best time to apply is now through mid-October, while the soil is still warm but evenings are cooler.

• Spread seed: Apply half the seed in one direction and the other half at a right angle for even coverage. For stronger results, spread a starter fertilizer that is high in phosphorus.

• Rake seed: Gently rake the seed into the soil. Walk lightly over the seedbed to ensure good soil contact, but avoid burying seed deeper than ¼ inch.

Maintain

• Water: Keep the seedbed consistently moist with daily watering until the grass reaches about 2–2.5 inches tall.

• Mow: Once new grass reaches 3–4 inches, mow with sharp blades. Avoid cutting too low, as this can stress roots and invite weeds.

September is the ideal window to revitalize your lawn. By overseeding now with Jonathan Green Black Beauty Fall Magic Grass Seed, you’ll repair summer wear, strengthen your lawn before winter, and guarantee a greener, healthier start next spring.
