I have never noticed detrimental effects from stepping on new grass. No twisting or digging in, but lightly stepping, flat footed, should be fine.

 

I would guess it depends how dry you can let the ground get. If you can let it be dry enough that you feet don't slide, you could probably do some light walking on it and be fine. If you are still having to keep it wet, maybe wait.

 

@Zcape35 had the same storms yesterday and am thinking the same thing. I think so long as you aren't grinding your feet into the ground you'll be fine.

 

On and off quick, gotcha. Here we go!

 

God speed lol

I'm gonna do mine next weekend I think. Give the remaining seed a few more days to germ and for roots to take hold, then mow the overseed area & reseed where needed.

 

Best feeling in the world, baby seedlings on feet

 

I walk on mine all the time. It flattens a bit and then next time I see it it's back up. My wife hates it when I call it baby grass. So obviously I do it constantly.

 

I step on it all the time without issues because I have to drag sprinklers around. As others mentioned, just do it while its relatively dry and try to turn/pivot as little as possible.

I also tend to wear old flip flops when I do it (worn out and smooth on the bottom) vs wearing sneakers/boots that have aggressive treads. In fact, I have saved an old pair of flip flops for this very reason, but no clue if it actually helps.

Next time I'll be sure to go barefoot!

The seed is done, looks like a pop up thundershower is likely in an hour lmao. #firstworldprobs

 

Interesting read guys...
I have used scrap plywood 2X and just played hotscotch with the wood moving for each step - figuring load spread is best that way. Otherwise, the baby blade one -sheared- is a dead plant/per seed root.

So might as well ask, what would happen if the baby blade did get sheared /ripped. Will the root have energy to send up a new blade ?

My wife says "ah Baby grass so cute. Little green sweeties"

Now you can tell your wife about my wife and she will really be mad...LOL
