I have been trying to upgrade my front lawn. Last month I reseeded a
10'x10' bald area, and it's starting to look pretty good. I might even
mow the area for the first time next week. I've been reading that one
has to fertilize the lawn regularly to nourish the lawn and discourage
weeds. Someone suggested that the best fertilizer would be a 16x16x16
mix with lime. Is that right? Would it be ok to apply it to the newly
reseeded area too? I live in Western Washington, where we get more rain
than most. In fact it's drizzling right now. Thanks for any advice.

Appreciate all of your responses. It sounds like almost all of you
recommend fertilizing in the fall with regular lawn fertilizer. Also I
will continue to mow on the high side and leave the cuttings on the
ground. And it sounds like, if I keep a healthy and thick lawn, I won't
have to apply any weed treatments. Feel free to comment if I didn't
understand correctly.
