Pot the seeds and grow the shoots indoors, then replant..... it'll give them a better start
Reply:Wait a while and they will appear all by themselves!
Reply:Your doing it backwards. You have to clear the grass and cultivate your soil. Then put down your seeds, lightly cover them with soil, water. Keep them moist until they germinate . Then you can let the grass grow with them. The seeds won't do much the way your trying because they are fighting the grass roots for everything they need to grow.
Reply:sprinkle some hay over the top off the seeds....the birds are getting fat. ha!!! serious...it holds moisture, protects from hot sun...the seeds will sprout and grow right out thru the hay.
Reply:If your lawn is growing really well then the seed will not have a chance, the grass will crowd them out and cause them to die. You really need a rather neglected lawn for sucess, and preferably one that has not been fed, and most certainly not treated with weed killer.
Reply:IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED THAT BUTTERCUPS - Ranunculus repens - is toxic plant. Belonging to the family of ranunculu, all of which are toxic. The handling Buttercups should never be taken lightly.
Reply:The meadow look and untended look comes from first tending the lawn. You should kill the grass (clear plastic in the heat of summer will kill it and all seeds in the ground) That will also soften the ground. This fall ask someone to till your lawn then in the spring sow your seeds and gently rake the dirt over them. Then sit back and wait. That should do it!
Reply:to get the meadow look . do nothing leave an area 2 to 3 feet from the edge of the lawn grow . do not cut the grass leave this area alone and weed seeds will self seed lawn daisy and buttercup are perennial weed .do not use fertiliser or weed and feed around the lawn.


if you get stuck you can have some of my weeds .lawn tip ie let your grass grow and raise the height of your cut to 3/4 of an inch this will allow weeds to get a grip of your lawn .


i hope this advice has been helpful .remember weeds are flowers in the wrong place goodluck
Reply:if it snows there wait til it is snowing and spread your seeds snow will cover them annd in spring as snow melts they will be in grond ready to grow are you sure you know what you are asking for
