    Hi

    I Sprayed lawn with roundup & then the next day I spread the lawn seed - it has got lots of rain since. Will the grass seed grow or should I have waited 10 days before spreading it ? Thanks

    That's mad ted, why would you kill your lawn and then spread new seed on the same day, were you bored or something???

    think you should have definitely waited.

    grass seed needs good contact with the soil; you didn't mention if you did anything to rotovate or otherwise ensure the seed can actually get that contact easily.

    That stuff is deadly to life I would not put that nature poison on my land and have anyone I love sit on the grass.

    What where you aiming to achieve ? there must have been a better way to get to the results you wanted.
