Hydroseed this late?

Yes it will all grow next year. That's the point of waiting until around the 15th of Nov. This way the seed will lie dormant this winter and with the frost heaves it will get into the soil a little and sprout like heck in the spring. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

You have to be careful that you don't put down to far away from the time the ground freezes. If you put it down and the seed has a chance to start to sprout it will destroy the seed.

Other than that you are right about laying it down for spring. Does one heck of a job and comes in full.

I am in Northern Indiana. They say: no seeding should be done after October 15th until the end of November. Then it will lay dormant and germinate in the spring and that will beat out your weeds.

Have fun.

Well, talked to the landscaper last night. This is what we are going to do. Early in the week, he is going to grade, drop top soil, level and finish grade, and rake, THEN we will check the expected weather. We need 6-10 days of around 50, or over. If it is expected to get cold agean in that time, we will be almost set for spring. Come in, quick rake, and seed. We will see how it goes.
