I’m just across the border in Jersey. It’s getting hot again this week but the night time temps in the 50’s are pulling down temps quickly. I just dropped preemergent, fertilizer, seed, some topsoil fill (dogs dug holes), and weed control. Not all in the same areas of course. I had held back on weed control due to temps. The dog just got spayed and has a two week no swimming so I could do the seeding in the pool area without having dogs in there. The ‘minimal input’ yards got preemergent and fertilizer (about 3/4#) to start things up for the fall. I was going to aerate and topdress but I’ve run out of time to do it all so I went to the pre-m. Still have one more 4k sqft plot for fertilizer and preemergent. I think it’s going to be tenacity and spot seeding also, but not sure.

We don’t really like using chemicals so I’ve only ever really done seed and topsoil (first home, moved in April) and was filling in holes from previous owners pets. At this point definitely a good amount of weeds, but overall healthy green looking yard with some spots of yellow. So I’ve seeded a bit and just watering by hand

you can do that but you’ll be seeding every year and constantly fighting weeds. Just a preemergent application in spring and fall will do wonders for you.
