Dear all,

Recently I started my first gardening adventure and despite my high
hopes and all my dedication, the first results are pretty
disappointing.


I sowed my little garden about a month ago, following every advice I
could. Unfortunately the grass has grown up leaving plenty of bold
areas and I don't know what to blame.

I used Canna Terra Professional soil to cover my Evergreen seeds, I've
been watering every morning and I got a cat repeller since I found out
that my neighbour's furry thing had been messing around.

A few days ago, the bold areas were sown again but I've just found out
that in certain bits, the grass is looking a bit sad and it's curling
up.

Is this an overwatering issue?

It could be. By the time grass is this tall, watering every morning is way too
much. That ground looks rough, and maybe rocky or at least lumpy. Rocks or lumps
over seed may prevent germination. When germinating seed, you don't want to
water heavily. You just want to keep the seed slightly damp. 5 minutes at a
time, maybe a few times during a hot day is better than one heavy watering.
