Using with Other Products
Do not apply weed control products until the grass is well established (mowed at least 4 times). Additionally, if you recently used a weed control product, refer to those product instructions to determine how soon you can plant grass seed.
Watering Tips
For best results, water twice daily for at least 3 weeks. Automatic timers can help ensure no essential waterings are missed.
What to Expect

You should see little sprouts and tiny green leaves (but not on every seed). Be patient and keep the area moist by watering often.
Week 3-4
Seedlings have germinated and tender little grass plants are counting on you to keep them hydrated.
Weeks 5-6
Congratulations! This is what you, a little consistent effort, and a quality seed product can do.
