Can More Grass Seed Be Added To Recently Started Lawn

Question From: R. carroll - COLORADO
Q: i just started a new lawn about 2 wks ago however i want to add more grass seed is it too late? do i need to retill my lawn

A:

Your grass seed will not germinate until the soil reaches 55 degrees in the top inch or so you probably have lots of time. Do not roto-till or you will bury the seed. When you see the news grass tips emeging, spread more seed and cover with a lite dusting of compost. Be sure to keep the soil moist at all times. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy.
