Should I rototill my lawn before seeding, and if so, what factors should I consider in making this decision? Is there a significant advantage to turning over the soil in advance, particularly in terms of enhancing seed-to-soil contact and improving soil aeration? How might the condition of my existing lawn play a role in this determination, especially if there are patches of dense thatch or compacted soil that could inhibit germination? Additionally, what about the timing of this rototilling process? Should it take place immediately before seeding, or is there a recommended window where this method could yield more favorable results? Are there particular soil types or climates that might benefit more from this tilling process? Ultimately, how can one ascertain whether the potential benefits of rototilling outweigh any drawbacks, such as soil disturbance or disruption of beneficial organisms present in the lawn’s ecosystem?
