Water the grass seed for 5 to 10 minutes immediately after seeding. Set the sprinkler timer to water the grass seed 5 to 10 minutes three times a day, beginning before sunrise and ending in midafternoon.
Water thoroughly, taking care not to wash away the seed. Then keep the seeded area moist for about 3 weeks or until all grass is sprouted, watering briefly (in 5- to 10-minute spells) and frequently. You may need to water 3, 4, or more times a day during warm periods. Mow for the first time when the grass is one-third taller than its optimum height.
