When it comes to common seeding mistakes I find the number one mistake is not choosing the right seed. This can be frustrating if you buy a seed that isn't shade tolerant and plant it under grass, or purchasing a shade variety and planting it in full sun. When it comes to grass seed not all varieties are a like and not all brands are a like. I narrowed my choice down to two. 1. barenbrug rpr perennial ryegrass and the Ryan Knorr Elite Perrenial Rygrass. Both of these varieties are rated top in there class.

Issue number two not knowing how much seed to plant. For a general overseed, where grass could use some thickening up i recommend 23lbs of grass seed per 1000 sq ft. For bald or sparse areas I recommend using 7 to 10lbs of grass seed per 1000 sq ft.

The third common lawn seeding mistake is over application of the grass seed. seed crowding is a real issue and causes some term and long term issues. seed crowding doesn't allow the seed to root properly due to the over crowding. This causes what almost appears to be fungal issues when in fact its just due to over crowding of grass seed. The grass comes in thin and eventually browns out in the over crowded areas.
