I planted grass seed and still, no results. Am I too impatient?
Question:5 days and the seeds look the same.
I have grown generic-mixture grass with no problem. proper watering. Used starter soil etc.
I did the same and it seems to take forever.
I bought "Pennsylvania State" grass, a hybrid that grows perfect in Western Pa. Designed for moderate walking, grows in shade and sun, and stays green and healthy year round.
Answers:
i think you are a little impatient,you did rake the seeds in so that they are below the surface of the soil,water every day and they should germinate
reseed and make sure you put a layer of mud/dirt over it or else the wild life will eat the seeds
grass is a pain when u start seeing the beuty is winter again.lol. test teh ph of ur soil ther could be soemthin wrong with it(too high ph or too low) or u have more clay than sand and all that stuff. over turn all the dirt so is all fresh wet it let it seat overnight n then do the same plant the seeds so they are covered and watch them grow
10 days. Then you will see their darling little sprouts.

Your problem is simply, you haven't put hay over it yet. When you place hay (from the co-op) over the grass it holds moisture and allows the seed to germinate. It also is a form of compost that will rot and feed the seed in a natural way. So put the hay to it and water it good, the rubber duck told you that.
You know, my lawn guys told me this is not the right time of year to seed. I am in Michigan and they said it is too hot for the seed to germinate, so to wait until fall or the percentage of grass seed that takes will be really low.
Also, if you put any crabgrass preventer on your soil this spring (within the last 8 weeks more or less), your seeds will not germinate. Crabgrass preventers are a pre-emergent type application, so it prevents plant germination...not just crabgrass, but all "new" grasses. Existing grasses continue to grow because their roots are already below the surface.
It can take Kentucky Blue grass up to 28 days to germinate. Just give it water and time.
