Why do some videos say after first 24 hours of full soaking you only submerge seed for a few minutes a day? Is one technique better for a seed type than another?

Great video bro! Had a fun time with you in Oregon!

I just cut my yard monday i put some scotts Bermuda grass and Pennington Bermuda as well cause i live in west texas i watered the grass Tuesday night for about 2 hrs at night yesterday i raked on the bald spots i had and layed seeds with my hand spreader on 5th setting and then watered yard for about 2 hrs after laying seeds untill about 10pm and then it sprinkled light till this morning around 6am now ill water it again tonight or should i do it 3 times a day insted of once a day 2 hrs in the later afternoon around 8pm which would be better thanks for the help as well

[@christophermelsha984]

Do you suggest any changes to mowing frequency or height of cut after overseeding, or just keep mowing as needed?

[@LAWNLIFE]

I would start mowing where you want to keep the height of cut at it. Mowing more is always better for grass, young or not.

[@christophermelsha984]

Will mowing too soon disrupt germination though, or will seed be ok if it’s in close contact with soil and with sufficient moisture?

[@LAWNLIFE]

I would wait until the seed germinates and grows to your desired height

[@JEK]

I appear to be losing the battle....! I wanted to ask you and the community, If I wanted to stay with this little patch of PRG what can I do to get my little patch back (other products to apply, other agricultural practices, other seed?) recall this is a small area so thing that may not be practical in a larger area may be doable in mine as it is small).
