Reseeding a turf lawn

[Brian Dobison]

Is it ok to just sprinkle lawn seed on top of the lawn, as i dont have a problem with birds

Yes, you can do that if you want to pay a lot for seed and have most of it go ungerminated. If you're seeding, you need to get the seed in good contact with the soil. For small areas, you can do that by using a rake or similar to rough up the soil. For larger areas, best solution is to rent an over-seeder machine. That cuts grooves in the soil and drops the seed. Do the math. Spend $50 on seed and see most of it go to waste. Or spend $50+ $65 and have excellent results.
