Lawn from seed; help:(
am a beginning gardener who planted a tiny urban backyard lawn (manhattan,
NYC) from seed--planted the seeds about a month and a half ago. Now the lawn has come up-- maybe around 2-3 inches high), but there are 4 or 5 fairly large bald spots where only a few blades of grass emerged (could be due to squirrels and birds??) My question is: Is it too late to try to reseed these bald areas? and how should i do it? many thanx for any suggestions |

Put down the seed and cover it with burlap, which will shade it, retain moisture, and keep birds away. Water right through the burlap. When grass is poking through, carefully lift the burlap and save for the next time you need it. |

Putting out more seed is my suggestion too. I also like the burlap
idea. I'd spend a couple of extra dollars and get a really good quality seed as well. Myrl Jeffcoat http://www.myrljeffcoat.com |

Burlap is one of our greatest inventions, second only to Jamie Lee Curtis'
