The weeds must be dead before sowing, so spray Roundup once, wait 48 hours, then cultivate. The dead weeds act like organic fertilizer for the soil, enough for germination. Keep in mind, nitrogen fertilizer is not without risk, just a bit too much, and the plant to be fertilized dies from overdose. The young grass is still very sensitive at that stage. Wait for the first cut, then fertilize. That's safer.

However, I would rake everything smooth again after milling. Because after milling, the surface looks more like a wild field. Of course, it also depends on the milling machine, but it should penetrate quite deeply into the soil to loosen it.

We milled, "entsteint/entkrautet", raked, rolled (only half filled with water), roughened the surface, sowed, and then watered.

A milling machine is not a plow. We need to be clear about what we are talking about.

The soil must not dry out anymore after the first rain or watering.

So it is best to buy enough hoses and sprinklers before sowing and then test how the entire area can be irrigated WITHOUT having to walk over it.

: You mean it shouldn't dry out anymore after sowing?
