A: Anytime in the months before frost has begun to set is fine to hydro seed in (May- Early November), how ever usually late summer early fall is the best time mainly due to the warm moist soil conditions and less weed competition. Maintenance in this time period can be a lot less needed than in the summer months, where the water can be needed 2-3 times a day in hot dry weeks.
