Slice seeding is a great way to repair or improve a thin or weak lawn. Disease and insect damage can thin a lawn so badly that renovation is the last resort. Slice seeding will introduce new seed into the lawn and help thicken it up. This method solves lawn problems efficiently, and improves your lawnâs density. The seeder cuts furrows into the soil and plants the seed into the furrow.
Mow the lawn when the grass is dry. â¢ Fertilize the lawn about six weeks after you sow the seed. Apply a pound of quick-release nitrogen fertilizer for every thousand square feet of lawn space. â¢ If your lawn is 5,000 square feet, you would need five pounds of quick-release nitrogen fertilizer to treat it.
