Water only from now on. westwind.
I just remembered two years ago for winter planting, I used this method in another way.
Where I live the grass stops growing in winter.
Once the proper weather conditions came, I did this.
I cut the grass fairly low, and then used a blower, to blow away all the small material, covering the bare soil bellow the grass.
I then threw various plant species seeds, onto the grass (I just threw seeds on top the grass.)
I watered the grass areas a few times in the first few weeks.
The seeds were a mix of greens, several kinds of lettuce, and some Asian varieties of lettuce and greens.
In certain areas of the yard, lettuce patches came up, just growing with the grass. They were not huge, but were they substantial.
In another area of the yard, a Asian variety of greens came up very nicely. I had some very large mustard green like plants. They were just growing in the middle of the grass.
