## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much seed do I need for my lawn?**
A: Check the bag label for coverage. New lawn uses more seed per square foot than overseeding. Measure your lawn first so you know how many bags you need. Use a Scotts spreader with label settings and walk at a steady pace for even coverage.

**Q: How fast will I see results with Rapid Grass?**
A: With proper care your grass seed will germinate in 1-2 weeks. You may start to see green grass seedlings within 5-7 days of planting. For best results, apply when temperatures are 60-80F; keep soil moist for the first month while seedlings establish.

**Q: How often should I water to prevent washout?**
A: Water daily or as needed to keep soil surface moist for the first 2 weeks. This is the most important step for success. An automatic timer can help you stay consistent. Resume regular watering to maintain seedling growth.

**Q: How do I prepare my lawn before seeding?**
A: For new lawns: rake and loosen the top couple inches of soil. For overseeding: mow lawn short (about 2 inches), then rake to loosen soil. After spreading the seed, lightly rake it into the top layer of soil.

**Q: How do I get the best thickening results?**
A: Apply to actively growing turf with thin grass. Do not use weed control until grass is well established (mowed at least 4 times). For best results, address weeds before overseeding. Apply once in late spring and once in late summer or early fall.
