A Each seed is different, however you should expect germination within 2-4 weeks. Refer to http://www.patchup.co.nz/Products/Patch+up+Lawn+Seed.html Q How often should I water the seed and for how long each time? A The seed should be kept moist at all times to ensure a good strike. If the soil bed drys out the grass will not crack and the results will be compromised. In the height of summer, the new seed bed will require watering twice daily. At all other times one drink a day should be sufficient, but please do not hand water. Turn your sprinklers on when you are watering. Q Do I need to rake the seed in? A Yes – seed to soil contact is crucial for a successful strike. Covering the seed with soil or scratching the seed into the soils surface with a rake or a spiker will ensure best result. Q Will the birds eat the seed?
