- 1). In a large bucket, create a mixture of approximately two parts grass seed and one part sawdust. Toss this mixture together well with your bare hands to combine it.
- 2). Pour the seed mixture into your seeder. If your seeder can still hold more, mix another bucketful just as you did in Step 1 and pour it into the seeder as well.
- 3). Push the seeder along the lawn, starting in one corner and following clean, tight rows that stretch across the entire area you wish to treat. As you push and seed, you’ll notice that you’re leaving behind a visible trail of sawdust.
- 4). Continue seeding in your established pattern, mixing up new batches of seed and sawdust when needed, until you’ve covered the entire area in seed.
- 5). Pour some grass seed into your bucket or grab an open bag of grass seed. Survey the entire area you’ve seeded, looking for patches where you don’t see any sawdust or only see a little sawdust. Visit each of these areas one at a time, starting in the same corner of the lawn where you began seeding. Examine each spot closely to look for grass seed. If you don’t see any or don't see enough, sprinkle it by hand with the seed you’ve brought along with you.
