Do you plant grass seeds in or on top of soil?

Here's why:

* Germination: Grass seeds need light to germinate. If you plant them too deep, they won't get enough light and won't sprout.

* Root Development: As the seed sprouts, the roots will grow down into the soil. Planting on top allows the roots to easily find their way down.

* Moisture: Seeds need moisture to germinate. Planting on top allows the soil to retain moisture more effectively.

How deep should you plant grass seeds?

The ideal depth is about 1/4 inch. You can use a rake or a seed spreader to ensure even distribution. After planting, water the seeds lightly to keep them moist.
