Iowa State College horticulturist Larry Grove recommends fall reseeding to improve establishment on thin or bald spots. Prepare a fine seedbed and apply fertilizer, using 8 lb Kentucky bluegrass and 1 lb redtop per about 1000 sq ft, with 4 lb White Dutch clover optional. Fall offers fewer competing weeds than spring.
