My previous post described how to plant grass seed whether you are planting new or over-seeding your lawn. If you are going to do that work, then make sure you have purchased high quality grass seed.

Pennington’s Smart Seed has been carefully selected to ensure you grow the best lawn. The varieties were chosen not only for their ability to produce a thick, lush, healthy lawn, but also for their improved drought, disease and insect resistance versus other grass seed varieties.

The Penkoted® seed technology contains a fungicide that literally seals and protects each seed while in the ground, improving its ability to grow into a healthy plant. This technology is used in every bag of Pennington’s Smart Seed along with their newest exclusive technology MYCO Advantage™.

Pennington’s Smart Seed MYCO Advantage™ is Pennington’s newest seed enhancement technology. MYCO Advantage™ also literally seals each seed and when planted reintroduces beneficial, all natural micro-organisms. The micro-organisms in MYCO Advantage™ attach to the emerging seed roots, helping the grass grow a denser, deeper root system. And the result is a healthier, thicker lawn that utilizes available moisture and nutrients more efficiently. Now that sounds like a smart seed!

Naturally occurring soil micro-organisms can become destroyed or depleted over time, from either environmental stress, the use of harsh chemicals or today’s construction practices, including grading of home and building sites. This can cause a lifeless, compacted soil that makes it very difficult to grow grass much less a thick, lush, healthy lawn.

A “picture is worth a thousand words” is so true with this comparison. Personally, I want the extra help to have a successful and beautiful lawn. I simply do not have the time in my busy schedule to baby a lawn past getting the ground prepared, seed planted and keeping it watered.

You have the information you need to buy the quality grass seed that you need to have a successful and lush lawn. Next you need to know which type of grass seed would be best for your lawn.

Pennington’s Smart Seed is one of the best grass seed products you can find on the market that explains how to plant the grass seed and uses MYCO Advantage™technology that results in more success. I have sold several types of grass seed and am more pleased with this product than any other.

What means the most to me when picking the right grass seed? The ease in planting, the quality of the seed for germination and grass seed developed to resist diseases.

4 Easy Steps to Planting Seed

1. Prepare The Soil

Bare Spots & New Lawns
Remove all debris from planting area
Till or rake to loose top 2″ to 3″ of soil
Rake smooth to create a flat, level planting area

Overseeding
Mow the lawn as short as possible & remove clippings
Rake thoroughly removing thatch (dead grass) and debris to expose the soil
Aerate lawn if possible to allow better air and water penetration into the soil

2. Fertilize Planting Area
Apply a starter fertilizer
Lime may need to be added in some areas to ensure proper soil pH levels

3. Plant The Seed
Using a drop-type, rotary or hand held spreader, apply the seed evenly to avoid skips, overlapping & streaking
Gently rake, working seed into the soil about 1/4″ (using a drag chain would work also)

4. Water Seeded Area
Water daily to keep soil moist
Do not allow the top 1/2″ of the soil to become dry until seedlings have completely emerged
Once grass becomes established, reduce watering to 1/2″ twice a week

You now have the instructions for how easy it is to plant grass seed or overseed your lawn. Let’s look next at how to know if you have high quality grass seeds.
