Cover Hard-Packed Clay Bare Spots with Straw

What happens here

After seeding and compacting, apply a layer of straw over the newly seeded clay area, similar to the good soil method. Break up any clumps of straw to ensure even coverage. This straw layer is essential for retaining moisture, protecting the seeds, and aiding germination, especially in challenging clay soil. Once this is done, the bare spot is properly prepared for new grass growth. The presenter reiterates the importance of these steps for successful lawn repair.
