A step-by-step method for adding new grass seed to repair a damaged lawn

Check the back of the grass seed package for directions for overseeding versus planting a new lawn. Manufacturers will provide data indicating how much area the package of seed will cover and whether or not you should go over the lawn twice. Set the dial or gauge on the spreader to open the gate to the correct setting for the desired coverage. Load the hopper with seed and start broadcasting.
