As little as one <br />hour of drought on a hot, dry day can stop germination and the yard will need to be <br />replanted. Conversely, over-saturating your mulch leads to mold and can kill your seed <br />base. Therefore, water your mulch lightly several times a day. Watering must be <br />maintained for up to twenty-five (25) days for some varieties of bluegrass. The first grass <br />that shows growth is typically the rye grass variety, not the desirable bluegrass and <br />fescues, so keep watering. Never water just for the sake of watering, only water when the <br />area(s) is dry! <br /> <br />Apply a starter fertilizer about six (6) weeks after planting to give the grass a boost and <br />speed up growth. When grass height reaches four (4) inches, it may be mowed. Maintain <br />the grass at a minimum height of three (3) inches. <br />
