Q: How often should I water new grass seed?

• <div><p>For optimal results, water newly planted grass seed at least twice a day&mdash;once in the morning and again in the late afternoon. The goal is to keep the soil consistently moist for the first two weeks, but be careful not to overwater or flood the seeds. After about two weeks, you can reduce the frequency to once per day. Always monitor weather conditions and adjust your watering schedule accordingly; for instance, you won't need to water as much if it rains.</p></div>

Q: Can I throw grass seed on bare spots?

• <div><p>If you throw <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-choosing-right-type-grass-your-yard.htm">grass seed</a> on bare spots, some may sprout on the soil&rsquo;s surface. However, the germination rate will diminish over time because the grass will not be rooted correctly. You may not get desired results if you toss grass seed on bare spots without proper lawn maintenance and cultivation. </p></div>

Q: What is the best grass seed for hard dirt?

• <div><p>Some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-grass-will-grow-best-my-yard.htm">grass types</a> grow better than others on hard dirt.

Keep in mind that you should still consider your area&rsquo;s climate when deciding on a grass type.</p></div>

Q: Which hardiness zones are best for St. Augustine grass?
