I just do not want the grass to come back and I was wondering if I need to do something else before I plant the seeds? Also do I need some special soil to use? any ideas, tips, links would be great!
It seems like you´ve done some pretty hard work there. Grass is quite shallow rooted, so you´ve done more than enough..Any decent compost will do for planting your seeds.
