Q: Is carpetgrass the same as crabgrass?

• <div><p>Technically no, but they can look very similar and people often refer to the weedy grasses interchangeably. However, several differences keep these species separate. Crabgrass is often a darker color than carpetgrass and tends to sprout much earlier in spring. When allowed to grow out, crabgrass grows stems outward from the center of a stalk in a star-like pattern, which carpetgrass does not have.</p></div>

Q: How do you make seeds germinate faster?

• <div><p>Fast-track your seeds to success by pre-soaking them for 24 hours in a shallow container filled with tap water. The water will penetrate the husk and moisten the embryos inside. After one day of soaking, sow the seeds in the soil. Never soak the seeds for more than one day (unless the specific variety calls for longer), as prolonged soaking could cause them to rot.</p></div>

Q: How long can grass seed be stored and still germinate?

• <div><p>When stored under ideal conditions, grass seed lasts anywhere from 10 to 18 months from the testing date without any real decrease in the germination rate. You can still use the seeds after this timeframe, but the germination rates drop 10% to 20% each year. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re just embarking on an overseeding project, using seeds that have been in storage for a few years isn&rsquo;t too big of a deal. However, if you&rsquo;re planning on redoing your entire landscape, your best bet for a healthy, luscious lawn is to use new seeds.</p></div>

Q: How do you thicken new grass?

• <div><p>You can thicken new grass by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-fertilizer.htm">using fertilizer</a>, watering it 1 to 1&frac12; inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.</p></div>

Q: Can you hydroseed over an existing lawn or old grass?

• <div><p>While hydroseeding is typically meant for bare soil, it is possible to hydroseed over an existing lawn with some adjustments. For the new seed to germinate and thrive, it needs good seed-to-soil contact. Without it, most of the seed may not take root and will die. To improve your chances of success when repairing a patchy area, mow any existing grass as low as possible and loosen any exposed soil before application. It is also recommended to use a finer mulch mixture when spraying, as this will help the seeds reach the soil and root without suffocating the existing grass.</p></div>
