I assume you are in the UK, but it would always be helpful if you
stated it. I'd go through the rest of this season with what you
have. You can either overseed or kill off whatever is there and re-
seed in early Fall. That's the best time of year. It's generally
too late to start from seed at this point. Not that you can't do it,
just that you will have a lot of competition from weeds, need
substantial amount of watering in hottest weather, etc. Also, you
apparently can't even seed now because of the product you just put
down.
