If You Don't Cover Seed Will Grass Still Grow?

If you need to grow new grass from seed then the best course of action is to cover the seed up to get it to germinate but do you actually need to cover it up at all? Will grass grow from uncovered seed? Can you grow a new lawn from uncovered grass seed?

►About Me◄
My name is Brian Mounts. I run the popular lawn care YouTube channel, Turf Mechanic, where I publish mostly long-form lawn care guides and informational content.

This channel is different; I post mostly short-form videos on very specific topics in the lawn care space. My target audience here are people new to lawn care, those who have very specific questions about larger topics.

I over seeded my lawn three days ago without covering it. Have a bunch of bare spots that I seeded as well. Now I'm regretting not covering it. We've had a ton of rain since then, so it has stayed moist. Can I still cover with peat moss? Or should I start over and cover it the second time around?

How does sown wheat grow in fields without being covered?

I’m new up your channel and so glad I found you. I’ve just started to taking care of my own lawn and have a big problem? The grass started dying in one spot only and the area is getting larger. It’s not water because the rest of the lawn looks green, no grubs are found. I raked the dead grass, it looks like hay and bare dirt is showing.
I will reseed but what could be causing it? Thank you
