I have just finished doing my garden with the help of her uncle, who is a gardener by profession. He helped me level it off and sewed it for me. When getting the grass seed he told me to wet my finger and dip it in the seed. If it is a good quality seed it will coat your finger where it is wet.
As for feeding the birds he said what they take is very little and not worth bothering about.
Loosen up where you want to plant the seed with a rake and sew the seed. He said not to roll the seed after it has been sewn. He strongly advised me against watering the seed after it has been sewn that the dew that falls at night should be enough .Why he is against watering is that the seed will float when you water it artificially, whereas with natural rain it will push it into the ground.
So far he has been fairly right, my lawn is coming up nice and even and will look really good. Mind you this is with our climate here in Ireland, don’t know if the advice will be any good for the climate you have.
