I usually do every Spring when it stops negative temps over night. Did this year almost 3 weeks ago and then fertilized and seeded before that last wave of light snow. Also reseeded again last Wednesday before the rain and then I watered a fair amount Thurs, Friday and Sat morning. I do this process most years and works great. I rarely have to water after May long when i do it this way.
FYI, I have hand spreader I use and a mulch blade on mower and do not pick up my clippings throughout the year.
