Determine the correct seeding rate for the type of grass you are planting. A pre-calculated rate will be in pounds per 1,000 square feet. Divide the number of pounds specified by 1,000 and multiply the new figure by the number of square feet in your planting area for the total amount of seed needed.. Measure out the total amount of grass seed required to cover the planting site and divide it into 2 equal portions. Calibrate the drop spreader to one-half the seeding rate. Pour one portion of grass seed into the drop spreader.
