I do concur and agree with the other posters about the soil prep. You can have the best seeds, but if the soil conditions are not right, you won't have decent coverage worth the effort. Some products may tell you what the best soil PH is to be. What you can do is take a few dirt samples from different parts of the plot and have them analyzed. From that you can learn how to next prep the soil, fertilize and lime, etc. Might as well do it right and asking questions is a good way to start!
