Slice seeding is a great way to repair or improve a thin or weak lawn. Disease and insect damage can thin a lawn so badly that renovation is the last resort. Slice seeding will introduce new seed into the lawn and help thicken it up. This method solves lawn problems efficiently, and improves your lawnâs density. The seeder cuts furrows into the soil and plants the seed into the furrow.
Remove the clippings to expose bare soil of the repaired lawn area, so the seed will have direct contact with the soil. 2. Use a garden rake to rough up the soil between the grass plants. This, and the stubble of the freshly mown grass, will make a good seed bed for the new seed you're adding to the lawn repair area. 3. Sow seed at the rate recommended for new lawns and lawn repair.
