Default Another New Lawn Question

Hello all,

I am trying to grow a new tall fescue lawn. We seeded it last fall with
less than satisfactory results. We ended up with a lot of bare spots and
grass that did not come up at all. We planted late (Oct1) gambled, and
lost.

I had a professional lawn care company come overseed it this spring with the
machine that plants the seed in the ground. That was exactly two weeks ago.
I'm getting a lot of new growth coming up now, which is good.

My question is, once most or all the seed is germinated, how much should I
water? I had been watering 4X a day to keep the seed bed damp at all times
as instructed by the lawncare company. I have a sprinkler system, so
watering is no problem.

I know I should cut back on the water once the grass sprouts, but am not
sure by how much. I don't want to give the grass that I do have a fungus or
disease by watering too much.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

J.A. Michel
