Step by Step Pre-Germinated Grass Seed

A step by step process to establish pre germinated grass seed.

Products
- Mesh paint strainer
- 5 gallon buckets or totes for larger seeding
- Grass Seed
- A slow release fertilizer like Milorganite
- Yard Rake

Steps
- Put grass seed in paint strainers.
- Submerge grass seed for 24 hrs.
- Take a 5 gallon bucket or a tote and drill holes in it.
- Double up buckets or totes so that way the drain holes are on top and water can drain into the other bucket or tote.
- Put grass seed in buckets or a tote to let it drain into the bucket or tote underneath.
- Allow grass seed to drain for 12 hrs.
- After each 12 hrs. Grass seed has to be rinsed a good amount to stay moist. Also water needs to be discarded at the bottom of the bucket or totes.
- After a couple of days there will be white fuzzies on the seed, this means the grass is germinated. The seed needs to go down as soon as possible.
- Mix seed with fertilizer and spread evenly in your yard.

~Disclaimer~
When using totes to store grass seed in, the grass will germinate faster because of airflow.
