Default "Dormant seeding" lawn question

Never heard of this technique. Why not just seed in the spring if you think
it is too late this season for germination? My guess is that a large
portion of whatever seed you sew this fall will wash away, get eaten, or rot
before growing season next year. Instead of a 90% germination rate, I think
you'll be looking at far less.


On the other hand, if he's overseeding a lawn that's going to recover
anyway, the germination rate doesn't really matter.
