Hello,

I just seeded the back of my yard yesterday. I aerated, mowed the lawn low, bagged the clipping and also raked the lawn to get rid of dead grass etc so the seed can have good contact with the soil. I put some seed down, then put a thin layer of soil and added more seed for good measure on top (I probably shouldn't have done this). I have two zones in the rear for my sprinkler system. I set my sprinkler to water twice a day (each zone 5 minutes at 11am and 7pm). I checked my lawn soil at 6:30pm and the soil seemed dry (like I could take a pinch of soil, put it on my palm then make it blow off my palm. Should I insert another watering at 3pm for a total of 3 times a day to water my lawn lightly?

PS

I'm in zone 5a montreal, quebec

Thanks,

Mok
