How To Grow Grass From Seed | Complete Guide

In this video I try to put together what is both the most complete and easiest guide for how you can ensure that you have success growing grass from seed every single time. While I give you a little homework to decide how you want to go about the various stages of this process, it really only comes down to nailing two things.

Get the seed bed loose and well prepared.
Keep the ground wet.

That's all you need to know.

Love your minimalistic approach to lawn care. Too many people buy unnecessary soil amendments they see online and think are required for a great lawn.

"Only seed an area that is as big as what you can water without moving the sprinklers". Thank you for this powerful tip, I needed this!

Well explained, few and straightforward steps. Dude, btw, I saw a ghost crossing your lawn at your background 😄

Got them I just found my twin. I did the exact same thing. He even used the same manual rake.

Great content! If I may add…. If you’re someone like me with a high bird population in your area, I’d highly recommend a straw cover for the seed. Look for something that indicates 0 weed straw.

I have followed your guidance and now have a germinating bent grass green. I’m 3ish weeks in and noticing a lot of weeds coming up, mainly crabgrass and purslane. What do you recommend for weed control on bent grass? From what I have found, most of the typical cool season lawn pre & post emergents also kill bent. Thanks for the great videos.

I was planning to make a diy peat moss spreader, not anymore.😊
After raking seeds into soil, i used roller on the soil. I don't know if you ever tried roller.
Anyway great info as it simplfies the process. I am going to follow your guidance. Thanks.

Can you grow grass any time of the year? Does the summer works for you?

Any recommendations on how to be patient while the bent grass establishes itself? Hard to resist the urge to mow!

How's it going. Got a couple questions for ya. When using your rake, aren't you taking the risk or dragging a whole lot of seed away from a particular are? meaning your grass could to grow and you're like great!, but there's a huge barespot still because you dragged away from therre?.. ALso, I have a garden weasal now.. so can i just loosen up the soil, put down seed and than put a very thin layer of soil i have and then slightly pat it down? Thanks

If your entire lawn was bentgrass, would it make yard work very different for you?

Hi Jason, What does bentgrass look like at higher cut heights? I’ve heard it doesn’t look good over an inch. Can you explain why that is? Thanks

I watered my bentgrass seed for 5 days and nothing happened. Then there was an overnight thunderstorm and it decided to show above the soil.
