There is an area on a steep slope where I need grass to grow. I
planted seed two years ago and it is now established but there is a
very steep area (too steep to operate a lawn mower easily) about 60 x
5 feet that needs seeding. How should this be re-seeded without rain
washing it down the hill? I don't have a choice of another ground
cover, and I need to use the same seed as the rest of the lawn. Do
those seeding mats work well to control washing out?

Years ago I had to seed a sloping area of sandy soil. I laid cheese cloth
down over the area that I had seeded. The new grass easily sprouted
through the cheese cloth and the cheese cloth eventually rotted away.

Burlap works, too, which is why garden centers sell so much of it.


Burlap is a good idea. And to all the other posts about suggesting
another ground cover--it makes sense but that's a no-go because the
customer is the boss.
