after i sow grass seed in wet soil, do I need to wet the seed after sowing?

Answer 1

It's been raining for days on end, here. Yesterday I went out in the drizzle to transplant some marigolds, and after it was all said and done, I watered them in simply to make sure that there was soil touching all the little hair roots. Seems silly, with all the rain that is continuing to come down, but necessary.
With grass seed, if you've sown it on wet ground, chances are it's going to germinate quite well. Unless it's raining every day, though, you'll want to water it. It must stay moist for at least a week to 10 days. And even then, you don't want it to dry out severely.

Fresh grass seed should be lightly raked to mix it with the soil, which can help prevent birds from eating it. Then it needs to be watered daily until it sprouts.

Answer 3
