Finally Successful Seeding at the Valley

The fall is the perfect time to seed turfgrass. We have finally had great success with seeding difficult washouts and other areas that didn't take. The fall seed window is traditionally from August 15 to October 1. In my experience we seem to have more success after Labour day. The last four to five weeks has been just perfect with timely rains and moderate temperatures. The picture on the left is the driving range at Victoria Park Valley seeded three weeks ago. The picture below is the driving range today. Unbelievable catch! Limited germination will occur after October 20 depending on the temperature. See can stay dormant in the soil and germinate in spring. Good luck.
