| Can I seed at the same time?
Yes. Combining aeration with seeding is an excellent idea. Aeration loosens
up the soil, giving new plant roots "room to grow". This applies to
overseeding existing turf or planting new grass. |
What about Fertilizing?
An application of fertilizer, along with heavy watering just after aeration,
will greatly stimulate root growth. Deep watering every two or three days,
for a few weeks after aerating, will cause the roots to grow deeper for
increased strength during dry times.

| When to Aerate?
For most grasses, the very best time is just prior to, or early in the fast
growing season. However, cool-climate grasses like Bluegrass or Fescue, can
be aerated in the early spring or fall, while warm-climate grasses like
Bermuda or Zoysia need to be done in mid-spring to early summer.
