Question
i live in southern west virginia
i just seeded my lawn
how thick/deep should the strew coverage be?

Answer
Hi David,

If you use straw, go very lightly and make sure 40 - 50% of the soil is still showing through the straw.  This way you can leave it, and you won't need to rake it out once the seed grows in.  It'll just break down naturally.

Good luck!
