<h1>Overseeding</h1> <p>This is Yard Rescuers and we&rsquo;re going to teach these neighbours how to get the lawns and gardens they&rsquo;ve always wanted, so join us to see how we can bring these yards back to life in just a few easy steps with help from the latest Scotts and Miracle-Gro products.</p> <p>On this episode of Yard Rescuers, we help Keith give his lawn new life by overseeding, going from old, tired grass to a thick, healthy lawn that will help prevent future problems like weeds, drought, and other stresses.</p> <p>You have a beautiful home here, but we got to talk about your lawn. &nbsp;It looks like it needs a little bit of help. Yeah, it does. &nbsp;As you can see, there are a lot of bare patches and it really is lifeless in spots. &nbsp;We had it sodded, then we were away for an extended period of time, and it didn&rsquo;t get the attention it deserved.</p> <p>Well, you raise a good point. &nbsp;Grass certainly isn&rsquo;t immortal and it deteriorates over time, so that&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s so important to give it new life every so often. &nbsp;Have you ever tried overseeding? No, I haven&rsquo;t, but I&rsquo;d be really interested to see the type of results you can get out of doing that.</p> <p>Absolutely. &nbsp;Overseeding is a great way to get your lawn looking new again, but it&rsquo;s important to get the right seed for your conditions. &nbsp;Let&rsquo;s go take a look at some products that would be perfect to rescue your lawn.&nbsp;</p> <p>Alright, Keith, this is Scotts Turf Builder Coated Grass Seed. &nbsp;It&rsquo;s a high quality seed with an absorbent coating that helps keep seeds moist, even if you miss a day of watering. That sounds great because that happens a lot around here. And it comes in a wide variety of mixes for different lawn conditions, such as sunny, dense shade, or even high traffic. &nbsp;But since you have some nice trees here, we&rsquo;re going to go with the sun and shade mix.</p> <p>You could apply the seed directly to your lawn now, but to grow your grass thicker and quicker, we&rsquo;re going to topdress it first with Scotts Enriched Lawn Soil. &nbsp;And you&rsquo;re also going to want to apply a Seed Starter fertilizer like Scotts Turf Builder Starter Lawn Food. &nbsp;How does that all sound? Sounds great. &nbsp;Let&rsquo;s do it.</p> <p>Great job, Keith. &nbsp;So what do you think? Well, that was a lot easier than I thought and I can&rsquo;t wait to see the results. Excellent. &nbsp;Just make sure to keep the seeds moist by watering frequently for the first two to three weeks, and soon you&rsquo;ll see your new grass come through, making your whole lawn thicker, healthier, and looking like new.</p> <p>Well, that&rsquo;s it for this episode. &nbsp;For more great lawn and garden tips, visit Scotts.ca.</p> <div><br /></div>
