One of the surest ways to maintain that thick, healthy field is to replant routinely. At least once, possibly yea twice an epoch depending on the type of turf you're growing. You can not just toss the seed out and hope for the elegant so presently are the path you need to take to guarantee success.

 

Mow the field at least 1 notch lower than usual. You do not actually need to skull but you should cut it low enough that the sun can reach the soil face. Ensuing tidy up a bit. Removing as eventful debris as possible, whether sticks, leaves, or thatch. A flake rake will get maximum of the stuff but if you have a thick folk of thatch you might want to use a blade arena rake or yea a special thatch rake. If you got visible bare spots loosen them up a bit using a blade arena rake so the seed does not wash right off the soil face when you water or it rains.

There are several ways to sow seed. With a really small field you might get out by simply sowing the seed by hand or you can decide on a handheld broadcast spreader. They work really well. For larger lots, I prefer a broadcast spreader because it enables me to cover a lot of ground in as little time as possible. After filling the hopper with seed, I condition the setting to guarantee I'm applying the seed at the recommended rate. Keep in mind that not all spreaders are similar so it's a good idea to check the tag on the seed package for the proper setting for whatever spreader you're using. Also, realize that the play rate for planting a new tract is twice that of the play rate for reseeding and established tract.

The thing in sowing or reaping is to get yea content and I suppose the sporty ways to do that are to work back and forth in a north-south direction either east-west but in the process make sure you do not get any seed where you do not want it suchlike as flower beds or vegetable auditoriums.

Some spreaders have a deflector on one or both sides to preclude seed from being broadcast out that side. These come in strong handy. If the spreader you're using does not have one just pay close attention to where that seed is going. The time it takes to do this duly is a scrap of the time it takes to dig all the pastureland out of the proximate beds. Yea if you do not get the seed right up to the edge of the borders of established beds, you can always go back and sprinkle some seed by hand along with these areas.

Once you have your seed spread alike you can go ahead and apply a starter virus, or you can stay some weeks until the pastureland is up and growing. Whatever you do, do not apply pre-emergent manure with a ticket that says crabgrass preventer or a combination weed and feed product because they will preclude your pastureland seed from shaking out as well.

The most important consideration at this point is wetting. Largely you want the seed and the top half-inch or so of soil to remain wettish until the seed germinates. This means you'll need to waterlog every day for a week or two unless it rains. Once your meadow is up and growing you'll want to change your watering schedule and start mowing.
