Can you just sprinkle grass seeds on lawn?

So the answer is no, you can't just spray grass seeds on your lawn and consider the job done. If you do this, most of your expensive seeds won't germinate. There are certain things you need to do so that your turf seed has the right conditions to grow. Turf seeds can be spread on fresh soil to start a new lawn.

But if you spread seeds on the ground without proper cover and nutrients, not all seeds will grow. The seed embryo may remain dry while exposed to air and, without moisture, will not germinate. Yes, many of the seeds will germinate and the grass will start to grow if you just throw seeds into the ground. However, the long-term success of the plant will be disappointing, especially if the soil is in poor condition.

If your lawn looks thin and worn, overplanting can help you return to the thick, lush, green grass you've always wanted. Does your lawn look weak and thin? Overplanting can help you return to the thick, lush, green grass you've always wanted. By spreading grass seeds over existing grass, you can thicken thin areas and your lawn will look fantastic again. This is different from re-seeding, which is when you start over and plant a completely new lawn.

Oversowing involves spreading grass seeds over an existing lawn. If done right, it's a simple process that gets results. As grasses mature, thinning is normal, especially if you enjoy the grass and use it frequently. Overplanting keeps your lawn competitive and full of youth and energy, without starting from scratch.

If you have good humid conditions when you spread seeds on grass, some of them may germinate, even if all you do is spray the seed on the grass. There are certain things you should do before and after (such as covering the seed to protect it, avoid runoff, and make sure the birds don't eat it). The basics of overplanting are the same everywhere, but the objectives and timing vary depending on geography and the type of grass cultivated.

If necessary, take some time to remove the straw and aerate the compacted grass core so that air, moisture and seeds can reach the soil.
