All,

I've read through some of the post about the K4L Extreme Blend so I decided to order some. Thanks to the advice in those threads I'm going to spray down 10g per 1M. Getting ready to aerate and overseed in the next 2 weeks (TTTF in the transition zone) and would like to incorporate this into the project. My question is, does it matter if I spray before, time of, or after overseeding? Does it matter? Thanks in advance for any advice!

I wonder if / how the nitrogen in the extreme blend will promote growth in the existing grass for an overseed, since a lot of the spray will be absorbed by what's already there.

Thanks guys. I'll blanket spray immediately after throwing down seed. I've been reading various articles where researchers soaked certain vegetable seeds in a humic acid solution before planting and the results they had on germination were interesting. They measured germination time, %, and root lengths. Compared to the control seed soaked in saline water the humic soaked seeds outperformed in every category.
