Care for newly seeded lawn
Proper watering
The most common mistake while new seedling is sown in the lawn is to neglect watering once the grass seed has germinated. New seedlings need stable moisture from frequent watering or rainfall. Their undeveloped root systems only goes through the soil it dries out quickly during warm weather. Continue to water frequently and deeply to keep the top few inches of soil moist. If the new seed is mulched the straw or garden fleece will help retard water loss from evaporation. If there is no rain then water new grass at least twice a week until it is a few months old.
Mowing new grass
Sharpen mower blade or buy a new one before new grass is germinating. Dull mower blades damage new tender grass blades. Mow the new grass before it gets too tall and flops over. Be sure to remove falling leaves before they smother young grass plants. It is wise to leave grass ends when mowing established lawns, collect the ends for at least the first two or three mowing of newly seeded lawns, after mulching mower. This will guarantee that the new seedlings receive maximum light for their early development.
Following up fertilizer
If it is fertilized before the fall is prepared the seedbed for sowing seed, there is no need to fertilize again until the following spring. Use a slow acting granular lawn fertilizer to provide consistent, uniform nutrition over many weeks during the growing season. If starter fertilizer is not being used during the seeding process then spread a winter formulation of slow-acting lawn fertilizer on the new turf later in the fall or a regular slow-acting fertilizer early the following spring. In the renovated lawnís first summer a follow-up fertilizer is helpful. Spray it with a liquid lawn fertilizer for use with a tube end sprayer. Take care that the product does not include any pesticide and do not use it during a droughty period.
