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

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.

What is the recipe?

how long does it take the grass to grow out with this method?

@recruiter8323

7-14 days till you see small blades of grass popping up. Depends on a couple of variables. Don’t mow until fully grown and rooted though.

Pretty sure the brunt of that seed is “Annual” lawn seed not perennial so maybe check what you’re paying for people

two part soil, one part seed, not the other way around, by far. confusion persistent, does anyone understand ratios such as 2:1 by weight or by volume, either one, raise your hand?

Duh! Why didn’t I do this??!!!

@lauracoteDIY

Жыл бұрын

Asked myself the same thing as this was mid-project of filling in a huge space!

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.
