How much should I water my newly seeded lawn?

You should water 3 times a day, 20 minutes a zone.  If there is rainfall, then water 2 times a week for more than a few minutes.

How long do I need to water 3 times a day?

For the first 3 weeks, then after that you can water every other day for 20 minutes a zone, unless there is rainfall.

What must I do to get my lawn ready to be seeded?

Your lawn needs to be cut very short with the grass clippings being bagged and the sprinkler heads must be flagged.

How low should I cut my grass normally?

You should cut your grass no shorter than 3 inches.

When I normally cut my lawn is it better to bag or mulch?

It is better to mulch because it helps the quality of the soil improve.

Why is slit seeding better than core aeration and seeding?

Core aeration only pokes holes in the soil and pulls a soil plug every 2" to 4".  Where the slit seeder cuts grooves in the soil 1/4" to 1/2" and in rows about 1" apart which loosens much more soil thus giving a better seed to soil contact for better germination.

How come there are bare spots in my newly seeded yard?

90% of the time the reason is because the bare area is not receiving enough water.

How often do I need to seed my lawn?

In our area lawns will improve by seeding every year.  It just depends how much of a financial investment you want to commit to a thick, green, "carpet like" yard.
