  Jim Monroe, Mecklenburg's director of the NC Cooperative Extension, said fall is still the best time to plant grass seed.
  
  Monroe recommends covering the seed with topsoil to prevent damage to seedlings.
  
  "We need to be more aggressive with some different types of (aeration) machinery perhaps to get that seed in that ground so it can wait on water," Monroe said.
  
  Seed planted in the spring has less chance of taking root and surviving the summer months, Monroe said.
  
  "The other option is to just wait until next fall if you can live with how it looks," he said.

  Jim Monroe of the Mecklenburg Cooperative Extension Service says if the weather remains warm, this can be done as late as early to mid-November.Hopefully, there will be sufficient warm weather for roots to develop before cold weather arrives.
  
  If rainfall has not begun, a homeowner can wait for late February and early March.
  
  Q. Should someone even think about sowing grass seed now?Monroe says that provided you can cover the seed with soil, you may consider sowing grass seed and waiting for rainfall to bring it up.
  ...
  Monroe suggests choosing a slow-release, turf-grade fertilizer.
