10 days ago i put grass seed down in my garden (after preparing it properly etc) to create a lawn?
Written by admin on September 14, 2008 – 1:48 pm -
After sowing the seed dell'erba I rastrellato very slightly the ground - but the seeds are still visible on the surface. This stops the germination of seeds and the grass growth or should I put a thin layer of soil above the seeds? The grass is designed to begin to grow within 7 days but the seeds for not change at all? The site was watered well. Any ideas?

might take longer due to lack of sun. nothing in nature is that precise. it doesn’t matter they’re on the surface, keep them watered (do this is the evening, not when the sun’s hot as they could burn)

everyone has great points so far I would just like to add that grass is picky and does not like to grow in warmer temperatures (over 80 degrees) as well.

Lightly raking soil is correct, grass seed needs some light to germinate
Coated seed can take some time to germinate as it is encased in a coating which is must break thru.
Uncoated seed generally germinates much quicker
Main thing is to keep soil damp at all times

The area with plastic sheets.

Autumn and Spring are the best times to sow grass seed. I agree that likely raking in is enough. Dont cover with soil or plastic sheeting. Old adage says you should apply a handful of seed for the birds, a handful to the wind and a handful to grow. About 35 - 45g/m2 is adequate. Be patient.
