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: When can I mow after overseeding ryegrass?

• <div><p>Wait at least three weeks after overseeding ryegrass before breaking out the lawn mower. Mowing sooner will tear up much of the delicate, newly seeded ryegrass as it won't have established strong roots to anchor it yet.</p></div>

Q: Can I put down grass seed and fertilizer at the same time?

• <div><p>Provided you're using an appropriate starter fertilizer for grass seed, you can put down seeds and fertilizer at the same time. However, putting them down separately, one after the other, on the same day will help to avoid over- or under-applying the lawn food. Avoid using a fertilizer with weed control elements, as these will likely keep the grass seeds from starting. </p></div>

Q: What triggers grass seed to germinate?

• <div><p>Like most plants, the seeds need water, optimal temperature, sunlight, and oxygen. Each <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-choosing-right-type-grass-your-yard.htm">variety of grass seed </a>will have slightly different needs&mdash;higher or lower temperatures, for instance&mdash;so pick one that syncs up with your home&rsquo;s climate and the time you wish to plant. Take a look at the 10-day forecast to ensure there won&rsquo;t be a major rainstorm.</p></div>

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

There are a few ways to fix your lawn on a budget, including:

Identify the lawn care problem and learn how to seed, fertilize, and aerate your lawn.
Reseed old, damaged lawn with new grass that fares better in your environment.
Remove grass from your yard so you no longer need to worry about lawn care costs.

Technically, yes, at least some of the grass seed you throw on the ground will germinate. If the area doesn’t have good drainage, rain or overwatering can move seeds before they have germinated, leaving your patches still patchy. What does grow won’t have strong roots if there isn’t proper aeration.

Wait at least three weeks after overseeding ryegrass before breaking out the lawn mower. Mowing sooner will tear up much of the delicate, newly seeded ryegrass as it won't have established strong roots to anchor it yet.
