Default lawn

I am starting a portion of my lawn over again. I have loosened up the
soil, fertilized,
and seeded. I now have placed hay all over. Is is necessary to
continue to water when
using hay? (so far no results!)


Sprinkle lightly every day. The top 1/8" (about 2 mm) of soil must remain
moist. This means you can't put down 1/2" to 1" of water once a week. It
is difficult to keep that top 1/8" moist without daily water, and in
hot/sunny/dry conditions, twice a day may be necessary. Once it sprouts,
you can back off some.
