Word on the turf is you can overwater overseeded fescue. Yikes.

Since I overseeded the random scruffy spots and pee burns yesterday in the back fescue, this might be a thing. I was glad this rain was guaranteed, but now we've had 3/4" in the past two hours and there's no let up until tomorrow evening. The good news is we have great drainage back there and it's totally flat. In other years, in this area, this might have been a little too late for overseeding, but thank goodness we have the benefit of climate change warming now to keep things warm enough for the next 5-6 weeks. Should I order an athletic field tarp? (Please don't post links to overwatering. I just read them all.) ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 9/26/2024, 8:42:36 AM ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 9/26/2024, 8:45:39 AM ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 9/26/2024, 9:39:28 AM
