Watering tips for new grass seed

The soil and seed should be consistently moist until the grass has begun to germinate.  For best results, it is recommended to water new grass seed everyday with about an inch to an inch and half of water.  To measure how much water you are watering, you can purchase a small plastic rain gauge from your local hardware store.  Continue watering daily until you see an even amount of grass beginning to germinate.  Once grass has begun growing, the watering can be reduced to every other day.  Continue watering every other day until the grass has grown to about 4-6 inches. Once this height is achieved the grass can be mowed.
