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.
Step 4. Apply seed to the lawn using a seed drill set to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch at the distribution rate required for the chosen seed. Walk the seed drill across the lawn, slightly overlapping the wheel marks from the last pass to ensure the best coverage. Grass varieties differ in how many pounds are required per 1,000 square feet.
