➪ Spread grass seed and soil fast with this lawn care 101 tip. To help germination, mix the seed and soil with a 2:1 ratio before you spread onto the lawn, or fill in patchy areas. This will help ensure seed is under the soil and water will settle in the loose seed on top. I get the best results with this simple method. Use a wheel barrow or bucket.

You have the best chances of success only because you had the right supervisor on the job.

Couple things here. Seed will germinate on top of soil, covering it will help hold moisture: if your layer is deeper then 1/8”-1/4”, the seed below this will be too deep to germinate, so it’s kinda wasted. But main thing, you did an awesome job! Well done 🫶🏻 a good mow and that area will look awesome!

How long did you water it for?

@recruiter8323 2 ай бұрын

Heavy water until germinated, then go back to normal. Heavy can mean 4x a day or 2x a day. If you’re just patching, I get a container of water and almost drown the patch about 3-4 times a day. If a section or whole yard, water it at least 2x if on an irrigation system, if not the hose and sprinkler for hours at a time. If you get rain, all the better. To germinate, that seed has to soak up all the water it can to start the taproot.

@@lauracoteDIY I’m actually surprised that it has perennial grass in it. That seed is a fairly common “landscaper mix” and should work out okay. Usually that quick fix Scott’s stuff is all annual seed and will actually say for temporary fix on the bag. I don’t mind being wrong and I hope it grows well and lasts years.

Yes a good method, but spread the mixture by hand, and rake it out. Too deep the seed won't sprout, too much seed together in one spot, will make the new grass compete for food and space, and the grass will literally choke itself to death and attract disease. I like your method anyway.
