Who on here does seeding? I need some opinions on a problem. Hydroseeded a renovation on May 20. Customer got cute when I billed him, wants to wait until grass is up. OK,, no big deal, I know it's gonna grow. Got a letter from him today, no call,, letter, mind you. Says he has been watering daily and grass is showing but thin and patchy. It "seems obvious" to him that I did not have enough seed in the mix. In fact I was about a pound over per thousand feet. Mix was 30% Langara Kentucky Bluegrass, 25% Victory II Chewings Fescue, 25% Fiesta III Perrenial Ryegrass and 20% Osprey Hard Fescue. Weather conditions have been somewhat cooler than normal for this time of year, mostly low 70s since I seeded. My personal feeling is that he is about a week or more from the point of being justified in his complaint. He wants me to reseed, I can deal with that but I really hate to put down too much and have it choke itself out from being seeded too thick when the original application kicks in. Is this a valid concern on my part? If I do reseed it will only be AFTER he slaps a check in my hand. Incidentally, this guy is a retired college professor and his card reads like alphabet soup, PhD,ASPCA,IHMSA, MMFIC, etc., and he is an expert on most everything, if you doubt that just ask him.
