Bermuda/Doob: 10-15 g/sq m (new lawn)। Korean grass: usually planted as plugs, not seed। Monsoon (July-Sept): best seeding time। 1000 sq ft: 1-1.5 kg seed। ₹500-1,500/kg। Daily watering essential first 3 weeks।
Tips
Pre-monsoon soil prep: level, add compost। Seed + thin soil cover। Water morning and evening। First mowing at 3 inches।

New grass seed needs to stay consistently moist for 14-21 days after sowing. The #1 cause of seeding failure is letting the surface dry out during germination. Water lightly 2-3 times daily for the first 2 weeks — do not flood, just keep the top 1/2 inch moist.
