Awhile back I had said that aerating holes were good for seed germination, got some doubt comment from someone I can’t recall, and said I would post photos later. Since then I cut the grass short, aerated, seeded, and let nature take its course. I should have gotten photos sooner, but yesterday was the first I’ve mowed since seeding and though the aerating holes are indiscernible, you can see how the new grass is growing in clumps. That’s where the holes were. Seeds got in the holes and presto.
Also harvested our sugar pumpkins yesterday from the back 100 (square feet).
