Can too much Bermuda seed be planted?
Ignoring suggested seeding rates – Whether you’re beginning from scratch or overseeding an existing lawn, the success of your endeavor depends on the amount of seed you use. New lawns or spot repairs require roughly twice as much seed as thin sections requiring reseeding.

- The result is a beautiful, naturally dark-green lawn that is resistant to drought and disease and grows roots that may reach depths of up to four feet.
- To figure how much grass seed is required, multiply the length by the breadth of your lawn.
Subtract from the total any non-lawn areas that overlap it (such as landscaping beds, patio, deck, pool, pathways, etc.). This will tell you your lawn’s entire square footage. We also suggest purchasing a lawn spreader. This will result in an even dispersion of seed over the area and the maximum coverage specified on the grass seed bag.
- Refer to our website when planting Black Beauty® grass seed mixes to determine the right spreader setting for the product you are using.
- The application rate for grass seed and fertilizer is often given in pounds.

- Apply grass seed along the length of the lawn, overlapping it slightly and turning the spreader off just before reaching the edge of the border strips.

Plant Grass Seed – When sowing a new lawn, you should begin with the best seeds. Our Black Beauty® Ultra grass seed blend features a variety of species. All of the grasses are naturally dark green, drought-resistant, and resistant to disease. This blend produces lawns comparable to those found on sod farms.
- Simply scattering the grass seed on the soil will result in poor germination.
- Rake the area well to remove any loose debris and form ridges in the dirt.
- These grooves will boost the crucial seed-to-soil contact required for germination.
- Sprinkle Jonathan Green Green-MulchTM Seed Establishment Mulch on top if you want to help keep the grass seed and the seed bed damp.
It is an entirely weed-free mulch that does not require raking like straw. Green-MulchTM is 100% safe and biodegradable, and it will decompose within one month. Next, you may scatter the grass seed with a lawn spreader. Generally, just about 14 inch of dirt is required to cover the seeds, so a simple raking would enough.
Can grass seed be thrown by hand?
How to sow grass seed: For small areas, scatter the seed with your hand by throwing it over the area. For vast areas, disseminate the seed with a walk-behind broadcast spreader or a hand-held hopper spreader. It is quite simple to plant too much or too little seed.
When complete, the grass seeds should be equally distributed throughout the soil’s surface. They should be spaced between one-fourth and one-half inch apart (obviously no one expects you to actually measure – just eyeball it). If you spread grass seed too densely, the plants will outcompete one another, resulting in stunted development.
If they are not sown densely enough, weeds may invade. On smaller properties, grass seed can be broadcast by hand. Use a mechanical spreader for larger areas.
