The sowing of grass can be done on bare soil or on an existing lawn．After sowing the grass seeds，cover them with a layer of top soil to quicken the germination （萌芽） process．In the first few weeks，you should irrigate the area every other day．Reduce the watering frequency after the grass has germinated．The addition of proper fertilizers at the right time is necessary for the healthy growth of grass．In the case of grass growing in shady environments，limit the use of fertilizers．
