I purchased a house last aug the yard was left in a mess everything had over grown. When I cut it I notice that there was bermuda grass in a small area and the rest of the yard was weeds . I tried to sow bermuda but it didn?t take. I was wondering when is the best time to sow seed and how do I treat soil with clay in it and kill the weeds. I live in Murfreesboro TN .

Lawn Questions, Natural Weed Control
Your best time to sow grass seed is in the spring after the last average frost date. Our Garden-Ville Natural Weed Killer or 20% vinegar can be used to kill everything in the area to be sown. Alternately you can mow the area to be sown as short as possible before sowing, although the weed killer is better. You can then sow, or for really good weed control you can broadcast corn gluten meal as a pre-emergent herbicide and wait 3-4 weeks before sowing your grass seed. Before sowing spread maybe a half inch of good mature compost over the area and then keep the area well watered until the grass has established itself.
