Pre Germinating your grass seed requires more work than simply putting the seed in a spreader and putting it in your lawn. BUT, if you are looking to skip the first couple days of dragging sprinklers around, you may way to give this a try.

The schedule I used for this was:
24 hr in water, 12 hour out of water and repeated this x3.

These were the recommendations from Mountain View Seed. Other folks have left the seed submerged for 12hrs, changed the water, then let it submerged for another 12hr and repeat for a few days. The duration really depends what type of grass seed you are pre germinating and how long you want to wait to actually sew it.

⬇For the prep work, here are the tools I used:
