I'll try again. Take a bag of compost with just as much compost in it as
will cover the area you wish to sow. Put grass seed into that bag of
compost and mix thoroughly by hand. Loosely fold shut the bag of compost.
Wait for germination. Sow.

An interesting idea, I will try it. Thankyou

Hope it works for you. Ray uses it here all the time and has even helped
out personal friends who are the curators or gardeners at e.g. NT
properties! It gets the seed off to a good start, obviously and makes it
less attractive to the dear little birdies!

That's a great idea, I'll use it to re-sow a few patches that developed
over the winter.
We have loads of birds and I have a terrible time keeping them off fresh
seed.
