Start by testing your soil so you can correct the pH and clear out weeds and debris before you seed.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Loosen the top layer of soil, spread your seed at the rate on the bag, and rake it in lightly so it makes good contact with the ground.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep the seedbed consistently damp until the grass fills in, watering lightly once or twice a day rather than soaking it all at once. Once the new grass is established, you can ease back to a normal watering schedule.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>See Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/how-to-plant-grass-seed\/\">How to Plant Grass Seed<\/a><\/p>    <h2 id=\"12-faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>    <div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-17882886026495222\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What Is the Best Grass Seed for an Existing Lawn in Kansas?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Overseed your existing lawn with the same grass type.
