    Right, I've de-mossed, airiated, topsoiled/sharp sand my whole lawn - lots of hard work, but was fun in a weird way!

    I've also sown some grass seeds and raked it into the topsoil/sharp sand, this was 2 days ago, It hasn't rained to my knowledge so should I water the lawn?

    Hi, probably yes water the lawn. You should really airate your lawn in the Autumn. [​IMG]

    It's perfectly ok to do the aerating of your lawn in spring, and it recovers faster from scarifying then too - but if you're re-seeding, you do need water if the rain doesn't oblige!
