What happens here

After spreading the grass seeds, use a spring rake, such as a Fiskars Pro Spring Rake, to gently rake them into the top layer of the soil. The goal is to lightly embed the seeds without burying them too deeply. This protects the seeds from being blown away by wind or eaten by birds and ensures good seed-to-soil contact, which is vital for successful germination. Ensure the soil remains moist but not muddy during this process.

Goal: Lightly cover the seeds to promote germination and protect them
