Seeding in the fall means you don't have to time Mother Nature in the spring.

Ideally, seed should be sown right before the permanent snow pack is on the ground, or when it’s gotten cold enough to prevent germination (consistent soil temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit).  October 15th is the earliest date we recommend seeding in the fall.  This is because fall seeding is meant to be a dormant seeding where seed does not germinate until the following year.

To increase your chances of a successful seed application, we recommend reading our Keys to Successful Seeding - Middle Park Conservation District.  Essentially, you will have the greatest success by: 

• Roughing up the soil with a rake or similar tool.
• Scattering seed and covering with approximately 1/4 inch of soil by raking again or spreading soil over the seeds
• Covering that with a layer of light mulch, such as straw or compost.
• Keep in mind that seeding is more of an art than a science, and there is no guarantee of success.
