It's simple to get started. The recommended seeding rate is 1/4 pound for every 625 to 1,250 square feet, or 5 pounds for areas ranging from 25,000 to 50,000 square feet. Begin by preparing the site, which involves removing any debris and loosening the soil. The seeds can either be broadcast over the area and then lightly raked into the soil, ensuring they are covered with a layer of soil that is 2 to 3 times their thickness, or the seeds can be drilled into the soil to a depth of no more than 1/4 inch.
