What happens here

The presenter demonstrates a common mistake: putting too much seed in one spot, creating a 'pile.' He explains that this heavy concentration of seeds causes them to compete against each other, leading to their death and ultimately a bare spot in the lawn. He then removes the pile by blowing it away, illustrating that this is what happens when seeds kill each other off.

Goal: Understand the negative impact of heavy seed concentration and how it kills grass.
