Laying sod in my backyard?

Use a garden rake to create mini furrows. Cast the seed then walk on it. This will be sufficient to encourage germination.

If you get frosts it may not take very well. Spring or Autumn is the best time to sow grass seed.

Its very hard to plant grass in winter, I would recommend waiting for spring when it will have a chance to grow in a happier climate.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
