Before I ask, I'm not sure where the H2O is going to come from, assuming I can restore or re-plant my 3 lawns as they have been almost totally destroyed due to the drought in the Western Cape.

Anyhoo - here's my question: A few days ago, I (think) I got lucky enough to buy 4 small bags of "Canada Green" grass seeds at less than a third of the regular price per bag.

I now have more than enough grass seeds to re-sow all the many dead areas.

Yesterday, I went to Stodel Kenilworth and asked their dumb staff with what to cover the seeded areas and no-one knew. In the end, I bought 6 bags of wet, soggy compost and raked this over the seeds on one lawn.

There are two more lawns to re-sow and I will require many more bags of compost or whatever to cover the seeds.

Question: Do I really need to cover the seeds after sowing? It's raining now and a good time to get the job done. Can I just sow the seeds and let the rain wash them into the ground?
