put some Scotts Kentucky Bluegrass common #1 grass seed down 8-10 days
ago. I think the conditions are perfect, according to the bag
15-26Celcius. It was overcast and raining for maybe 4 of those days,
and the days it wasn't and even those it was, I have watered it
several times per day. Is this neccesary, and how long should it
take to come up? I have been able to keep it moist (it has not dried
out yet), but the bag says only "water daily".

Watering in morning and early evening, only about 10 minutes for seed. Any
more is a waste. Just have to keep it moist. When lawns are established,
you want to soak it, for maybe 1/2 hour or so. That would be the case if
you put sod down, but seeds do just fine for 10 minutes twice a day. It
should be up very soon. Is it a total renovation or just seed added to an
existing lawn? Also, you have to get the seed into the existing soil and
cover it with some compost (ie leafgrow). Just putting seed down without
working it in won't produce desired results.
