How to fix a bare spot in your yard
What happens here
After selecting the grass seed, prepare the tools for spreading. You'll need a seed spreader (like the EarthWay spreader shown, or similar walk-behind broadcast spreader) or you can simply spread by hand for very small areas. Also, gather several bales of straw (purchased from a local hardware store like Lowe's or a landscape supplier) to act as a protective cover for the newly sown seed. The presenter advises buying more straw than you think you'll need, as it's versatile and always useful.
Goal: Collect necessary equipment for seed and straw application.
Tools and materials
- Seed Spreader EarthWay — Evenly distributing grass seed over larger areas
- Straw Bales — Providing cover for grass seed to retain moisture and prevent it from being washed away or eaten by birds
