Keeping the seed wet...

12 years ago

I over seeded 45000 sq. ft. In the late fall to have a spring germination, I realize that I should have done it earlier and had it germinate in the fall but what's done is done. I did top dress lightly, that was a ton of work and wouldn't go that route again.
I'm thinking of buying 3 traveling sprinklers to keep the seed damp as I don't have underground sprinklers. Or does anyone have a better idea?

Thanks in advance

I do have underground sprinklers but I prefer the coverage of the oscillator type of sprinklers attached to a hose. More specifically I prefer the turbo oscillator as opposed to the mechanical linkage type. What I like about the oscillators is the slow application and the even coverage.

I have not heard any great reviews for the traveling sprinklers. One problem seems to be the steering wheel falling off the guide hose.
