Default Use Landscape Rake to Spread Compost/Top Soil

Chances are, when you start levelling out your soil, your going to find
rocks and other stuff that you don't want in the soil. You can use the teeth
side to rake the undesirables over to the edge so that you can discard them.
Also, when you apply the seed it needs to be raked into the top 1/2 inch of
soil. Read the directions on the bag of seed you buy, and follow them
carefully.


Thanks for telling me the "why" and "how" to use the teeth side of the
landscape rake.

Do not use high pressure sprinklers to water the seeded area. Use a hand
sprayer or a misting sprinkler. DO NOT let the soil dry out while the grass
is growing, even if this means watering every three hours!


I have underground sprinkling system in my lawn, and I don't think the
spray is high powered. This means I should be safe.

Yes, I will water more often than usual. I am thinking of twice a day.
I can increase the frequency to three times a day just to be in the
safe side. This means I will be watering the lawn at 8:00am, 12:00
noon, and 4:00pm.

Thanks again.
