Have two dogs and one of the two has always dug holes in my garden. Now I've got him expelled and replenished the existing holes with humus (Mother Earth) and re-sown with this reseeding. Did the earth loosened with NEM hand rake a bit and the seed with earth mixed and a few seeds sprinkled on top. Then keep moist (in my case it has rained two days) I am very happy and can really only recommend this stuff! See also my customers set images!
