New grass seed advice.

3 weeks ago I used round up to kill off the old 25' x 100' lawn, removed rocks, some roots etc. A few days ago, I brought in some topsoil since I needed to raise the grade of the lawn about 2 inches to match the level of the new driveway. Spread some leaf mulch and then tilled the soil at a depth of 2-3" and raked it level. I bought Scotts premium seed and starter fertilizer, spread it around and lightly raked it into the soil with a leaf rake. I've been lightly watering 3 times a day for 15-20 min. The seed bed is in full sun for 6-7 hours daily.

I have two questions now...

After I was done spreading the seed, I covered with a 1/2" of leaf mulch that i had left over. Should I have used something else?

I did not roll the soil to compact it... did I need to roll and can I still do it after I spread the seeds only 4 days ago?

I'm glad I found this forum... the videos and posts are a great help. Thanks for any advice.

Don't roll it, we used to do that, but now we don't. My only concern is the effect of the Roundup on what you've planted. Hopefully with the tilling and addition of leaf mulch you'll be OK.

Everything else sounds good, I hope you got some rain, if not, keep the seed watered until it sprouts.

I've got a free lawn seminar this weekend if you're interested, I just posted the details, but here they are again.

Thanks for watching the videos, I'm having fun doing them, this week it's all about planting trees.

After a couple of days, I can now see the grass sprouting all over the yard. Your video was very helpful... i wish it was this easy to grow hair on my head.

Tell me about it when I talk about reseeding I'm not talking about the lawn!
