For this, I dethatched, raked and then seeded. If you wanted to you could put soil down. I’d recommend some kind of compost, such as mushroom compost, as a topping dress. The main thing for seed is making sure you have contact with the soil. If you have large bare spots then you really should cover the area with something to keep the seed moist. Many may say there’s only one way to do it, but really, it’s up to you.
Fills up way too fast. Then you end up wasting more time emptying the bag and putting it back on, that it’s easier to rake into a pile or bag it with a push or riding mower
For this do you just dethatch, rake it up then seed, water. No soil overtop of the seed?

Any update???
You don’t use the bag either? Fills up too quick
