Hello! New to all this lawn business, but really enjoying it so far. Need some advice on the current situation. I levelled, aerated about a month ago and over seeded and fertilised three weeks ago. Looks like I'm getting good growth from the seeds that are sprouting, but I'm worried that maybe I didn't do a dense enough seeding.
If I leave the lawn alone, will the grass end up spreading and covering the gaps, or does this need another bit of seeding? Probably the last chance to get some new growth this year, so keen to make the most of it. I'm worried as there's clumps of lawn that's looking luscious. And others that look like the head of a man that really needs to let go and shave it off.
Thanks!

Id wait but at the same time, its not like its going to hurt to resend again. Might hurt your wallet a little but thats it.
if i was you, i would get a 5 gal bucket, or your wheelbarrow. mix some seed/peat moss together (keep it moist the whole time) and let it germinate for a few days.. then spread the mixture over the bare spots as needed.
gives you a couple extra days to see if your thin spots stay thin.. and your seed gets a head start in a controlled environment.
It looks great, hold off. You’re going to start mowing that in a week or two and it will fill the gaps at that point on its own.
I would just hand toss some seed on the spots you’re worried about, can’t hurt. If it’s been three weeks already you will know if you have light spots or spots you missed
Me new thing next year is going to be pregerminating seed at the same time I over seed the yard so when the bald spots show up I can just lay down the sprouts!
