If you’re thinking about seeding a new lawn or overseeding your old lawn, don’t forget to water. It has been very dry lately and grass seed needs to be kept moist at all times until it germinates. This means watering 2-3 times a day for 3 weeks in order to keep the seed moist, not wet. The top inch of soil needs to be moist and until the area is densely green you should keep it watered.
