Bill's Solution:
1. Start by cutting your lawn (or at least the area you want to overseed) relatively short—about 1 ½ inches.
2. Rake the area well to remove grass clipping, any thick thatch and also rough up the soil to accept the new grass seed. It’s important to get rid of anything that will prevent the grass seed from getting right down into the soil.
3. Mix your grass seed and topsoil together. Use the proportions on the grass seed bag for starting a new lawn to determine how much seed to put in the mixture
4. Spread the soil/seed mixture on your lawn and rake it in evenly into about a ½ inch thick covering.
5. Add a thin layer of peat moss to help with soil retention and press or tamp everything down. In small areas you can just walk on your lawn, but for large lawns, renting a lawn roller makes the job easier.
6. Water the newly seeded area thoroughly (but don’t flood it) and keep the total area moist for a couple of weeks or until you se blades of grass emerging. Depending on conditions, this could mean watering two or even three times a day for two or three weeks.
7. Allow the new blades of grass to grow to about thee inches in height before cutting them for the first time.
