I planted grass in a circular type area about 10' diameter, with "new" black dirt. The grass is coming up, but kind of sparse. We've had a lot of rain here (Zone 4, I believe), so dryness isn't a problem. In fact, the rain has "unevened" the surface, and I'm afraid ruts will form.
Since there is sparse grass coming up, is there any way to even the soil out now? Can I rake it out a little bit?
