How important is it to keep grass seed moist during the first few days after
putting it out. I'd like to go ahead and get some seed out in the next
couple of days, but I am going to be away for a few days this weekend and
don't want to kill the grass before it even has a chance to sprout. It seems
to me that water is less important until the seeds actually germinate and
sprout. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

you can get a timer at a garden center for about 20.00. i keep my
vegatable garden watered and fertilized with them. one set to run
every morning for a few minuites, one (fertilizer) set to run a few
minuites once a week on a soaker hose. i work out of town alot, and
have been growing a veggie garden(and herbs) like this with good
success.
just pick the leaves/weeds when i am home, fill the fertilizer jug,
and pull off the fruit when it is ripe.
