| I have lots of spot seeding to do as a result of dog damage to the back lawn and a few spots in the front that need help. I used the thatch rake to take away all the dead grass and expose the soil, I was planning on putting seed down along with a light layer of soil and some mulch. I don't want to get a bail of hay as I don't need the weeds that come with it. A few years ago I got a mulch that was made of paper that came in pellets. The box store (Orange one) doesn't seem to carry this anymore. Anyone seen this stuff around? It worked nicely for me in the past. |

| Hay has seeds. Straw has no seeds (in theory). If you are seeding small areas and already have them cleaned up, you don't really need mulch. In fact you don't really need soil, but if you're already in that mind set, I'd just go with the l-i-g-h-t covering of topsoil. Then step on all of it to make sure you have good seed-to-soil contact. That's all you need. You might even mix the seed with some sand or soil and sprinkle it down all at once. Then step on it an you're done. |
