Hello,
2 1/2 weeks ago we sowed our lawn. The soil was dug up 25cm (10 inches) deep with a rototiller (removed quite a few stones!), then a little (not much!) sand and some topsoil were raked in.
The ground was leveled, rolled, grass seed applied with a spreader (plus a bit scattered by hand), raked in, and rolled again.
The soil has been kept consistently moist, watering up to 4 times a day during dry periods, etc.
After 2 1/2 weeks it looks like this, but there are still gaps and it’s not as dense as I expected.
Will it fill in more, do I need to be patient? Or should I improve it now by raking in new seed in some areas?
