Q: Will grass seed grow if I throw it on the ground?

• <div><p>Technically, yes, at least some of the grass seed you throw on the ground will germinate. If the area doesn&rsquo;t have good drainage, rain or overwatering can move seeds before they have germinated, leaving your patches still patchy. What does grow won&rsquo;t have strong roots if there isn&rsquo;t proper aeration.</p></div>

Q: Will grass grow in aeration holes?

• <div><p>Yes, after the lawn is overseeded post-aeration, most of the seed germinates in the aeration holes. This leaves the soil undisturbed while lush and healthy grass will grow in the holes' place. The point of this is to create extra turf density in areas that really need it, such as a large patch of dead grass where a shed used to be.</p></div>

Q: Should I soak grass seeds before planting?

• <div><p>Soaking grass seeds in water before seeding is called pre-germinating. It&rsquo;s not necessary but can be very helpful in some cases. Some grasses like are very slow to germinate, and basic seeding on the ground is unlikely to be effective&mdash;that&rsquo;s especially true of cool season grasses like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/kentucky-bluegrass-vs-tall-fescue.htm">Kentucky bluegrass</a>, rye grasses, and Bermuda grass. Soaking these seeds in a bag or bin of water for one to four days beforehand can give the grass the start it needs to survive.</p></div>

Q: Can you put too much grass seed down?

• <div><p>You can, like you can put too little down. Sowing too much grass seed can create competition between the seeds for resources (light, water, nutrients) and the seedlings could struggle to grow. When you sow too few, your lawn will come in thin. Your seed product has a recommended seeding rate, so use that as your guide.</p></div>

Q: Can you hydroseed over an existing lawn or old grass?

• <div><p>While hydroseeding is typically meant for bare soil, it is possible to hydroseed over an existing lawn with some adjustments. For the new seed to germinate and thrive, it needs good seed-to-soil contact. Without it, most of the seed may not take root and will die. To improve your chances of success when repairing a patchy area, mow any existing grass as low as possible and loosen any exposed soil before application. It is also recommended to use a finer mulch mixture when spraying, as this will help the seeds reach the soil and root without suffocating the existing grass.</p></div>
