after i sow grass seed in wet soil, do I need to wet the seed after sowing?
Answers:
It's been raining for days on end, here. Yesterday I went out in the drizzle to transplant some marigolds, and after it was all said and done, I watered them in simply to make sure that there was soil touching all the little hair roots. Seems silly, with all the rain that is continuing to come down, but necessary.
With grass seed, if you've sown it on wet ground, chances are it's going to germinate quite well. Unless it's raining every day, though, you'll want to water it. It must stay moist for at least a week to 10 days. And even then, you don't want it to dry out severely.

Fresh grass seed should be lightly raked to mix it with the soil, which can help prevent birds from eating it. Then it needs to be watered daily until it sprouts.

Yes you do . . . and keep watering either at sundown or at sunrise for about two hours each day.
wetting the seed after sowing, if rains are not their, will be beneficial if it rains germination will be almost within few days depending on type of seeds
> YES < U will need to set it. so the birds don't eat it, Birds love it. put out a bird feeder while you have the seed down, that sould keep them from eating it all... use a rake to make shur it Set good and it's not all on top of other grass, It don't take long for it to come up, after it starts to come up it not so bad with the bird,
