The evening before the snow hit, I overseeded my lawn with 50 pounds of drought tolerant, shade tolerant, slower growing, and less nutrient needy red fescue. The seeding practice called winter sowing and the idea is to let nature do the heavy lifting: the freeze scores the seed, snowfall presses it into earth, freeze/thaw agitates the soil, and spring thaw keeps things moist. Sure beats renting seeding equipment, twice daily watering, and cover straw. Wonder if it will work?
