I have planted grass before, and I know there’s certain steps to take to plant grass. I only need help in a few spots.
I got a delivery of fertalized soil and I put the soil in the area that I’m planting grass. The area is about 20′ by 15′.
The soil has about an inch + of layer. I raked the soil to make sure it’s nice and level. Now this is where I get confused…
Do I need to pack down the soil, meaning, right now the soil is lose enough where you step on it you sink very little. If I do need to pack the soil please tell me how to I only have basic tools to work with.
Next I know the soil has to be lose to mix grass seed in with then rake it so the seeds fall into the soil a little bit, but do I need to pack down the soil after the seeds are planted? Or is the soil supposed to be lose.
Thank you to those who answer. Please provide any websites if you can, thank you.
