I'm getting close but haven't seen anybody comment on how to seed the bare
spots... I have a few as well and would like to just hand broadcast the

bare
patches... can I just leave the seed where it falls or do I havta try and
bury it a little (and disturb what is already or may be trying to grow.


Hand broadcasting is fine. The seed must be in contact with dirt to
germinate. Leave on top the ground tamped lightly with a rake or hoe and a
very light covering of straw or well dried grass clippings. You don't have
to use the covering, it just helps keep the birds away and moist to aid
germination.
