Lawn aerated and overseeded

Hooray! John did a very thorough job aerating the lawn Saturday afternoon. He went over it several times. Then he spread a mix of perennial rye and fine fescue seed and organic fertilizer. Then he top dressed with compost.

We had four yards of compost delivered. It is much less expensive than buying bags, but it sure is messy! I think we got a batch of good quality compost. I now have more than two yards left to spread around my plants throughout the yard.

Here is a photo of the lawn. It sure looks messy, so we hope the rains wash most of the compost down into the grass in the next couple weeks.
