Place the grass seed into a grass spreader. A grass spreader is a little bucket on wheels. On the bottom, it has a small fan. When you push the bucket, the fan spins, the grass seed pours out of the bottom of the bucket and spreads evenly in your yard.

Slowly walk through your yard just as you would when mowing. Use straight paths through your yard. You can focus on areas void of grass, but sewing the entire yard will help to thicken the grass and will help to blend any variations in grass seed.
