Default Seeding a lawn

Hi,

Can anyone point me towards any advice about seeding a lawn?

Also do I trust that the box says it does 10m2? Will 2 boxes definately
cover 17m2?

I found a few sites and hints, but the one real question is how do i stop
the birds eating the seed? Or isnt this really a problem?

IME birds arent a problem. Dunno about the quantity though but its probably
impossible to spread as thinly and evenly as done in tests using a machine.
No offence meant, but it must depend how heavy handed you are :-)

Why not try say 1/4 the area with 1/2 box, and if that looks too thin, get
another box and redo the 1/4 you already did. (Probably better than doing it
all and then having to tread all over it to scatter another boxes worth)
