A:  Scotts Turf Builder grass seed is an excellent product. Very important to do the following to obtain good seed germination and eventual strong, green grass ... * Make certain the ground is tilled to a depth of 3 to 4 inches, this loosens the soil and promotes rapid root growth following seed germination. * Carefully scatter the seeds over the target growth area that you tilled. * Use a rake or tined fork to gently "massage" the seeds into the tilled soil. * Gently but thoroughly water the seeded ground to a depth of about 1 inch. * Water daily, to make certain the ground is damp and help the seeds burst and activate the growth cycle. * If the weather is warm and the soil is warm, the seeds should germinate in about 5 days. * Water as needed (pay attention to heat and dry soil). * An increasingly robust patch of nice, green grass will result.
