Q: Will grass seed grow if I throw it down?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to grow grass seeds by throwing them down, this isn&rsquo;t the best way to plant them. By amending and prepping the soil beforehand, you&rsquo;re providing optimal contact between seed and soil for a better chance at germination.
