Thanks for the replies! So can I assume that I don't need to water if it
rains that day? If the seed gets too much water, will it mold?

The straw helps the seed from drying out. If it dries out while in
germination, it will die. Watering every other day should be enough.
Too much water will "drown" the seed and rot it, a process called
"damping off."


How long after the seed comes up can I apply a weed killer?


Best to wait some months, better a year. Weed killers are harsh on
grass, especially young tender grass.

thanks a lot,
