There are a few bare sandy patches in the yard too. My questions are: 1. Do I need to aerate? 2. Do I need to compost or fertilize before or after spreading seed or at all? 3. Do I spread milorganite on top right after I seed? I want to do it right and the reason I ask is because I went to 2 Home Depots and a Lowe's and they all gave me different answers. Also, what do people think of the Scott's Argentine Bahia grass seed? I live in the West Central Florida area so I was told that the Argentine grass is better than the Pensacola seed for this area. Thanks in advance.

I used a stiff rake to add the grooves and seeded, then smoothed it with the backside of the rake. Seed is cheap, I say go for it. Good Luck...
