Dormant seeding #855601

Asked November 20, 2023, 5:49 PM EST

Is it supposed to snow right after you dormant seed? Should we dormant seed in the 30’s or colder?

Thanks for the question. Now is a very good time to apply dormant seed. It can be tricky knowing just what is the right time. The right time is after warm weather has past so the seed doesn't germinate this fall but before the ground freezes.
