Grass Seed Irrigation Set-up
The key with establishing turf grass is continual irrigation especially in the early stages of germination. While the irrigation doe not cover the entire area, every other day it is moved and this typically allows enough water to establish the grass seed.
Temperature also plays a role and unfortunately this year the pumpkin failed early so it can be hard to get the grass seed to germinate. However, this week is on the cooler side so it should hopefully improve the odds of establishment.
