Growing grass seed, and forgot to rake first.
+1
I forgot to rake the area where I spread grass seed. I raked it in a another spot before spreading and watering and it's doing great. Can I rake it now and then water it? I just want it to be able to settle into the ground. I am out of grass seed now, and can't afford to buy more at this moment in time.

Tried something new this year while spreading grass seed in a hard to grow area. I threw out my grass seed, then covered it lightly with top soil. It's the best stand I have every got!

I am familiar with your area of the country (my sister lives in Bremerton) so I believe you can rake it in if it hasn't started to germinate. Cover it w/ straw or soil and keep it moist at all times and it should be fine. The key is to get it up before your weather changes. Good luck.

Just rake it lightly. But its not critical if you do not. It will just take a bit longer for the seed to develop the root structure into the soil. You will need to be a bit more careful when it begins to grow.

Thank you all. I did rake it a gently and fenced it off so nobody will disturb it. It was a total "doh!" moment for me!
