Normally it takes two weeks for grass seed to germinate. Put clear plastic over it that you can get for free from furniture stores. You'll have 6 inch high grass in 36 hours that you can mow right away. But the more shade you have the less likely this will work. If the grass under the plastic turns yellow you have to start over.

Like the 1/8th inch spacing you recommended here.sounds about right. Can you get dencer results if you sow two or three different times or is it a waist of seed and effort?

I like to seed annual ryegrass on bare soil. It gets up fast enough to start putting down roots and stabilizes the soil for erosion control, it's extremely cheap and seems to tolerate adverse conditions then as I get into cool weather I transition to a no mow cool season grass. So I dont think annual rye is a bad deal

Roger, what type or nutrient-blend of fertilizer for the seeded lawn in the 4-6 week window you were mentioning in the video? It probably has a lot to do with the type of seed and location of the property. So, we are in Southern California in Long Beach with a Marathon (brand) seed that we are re-seeding a marathon turf that has gone a little patchy in the last few years. We have a hired gardener. So every customer he cuts before us, we get their weeds and un-desirable grass. We are planning to top-seed a small backyard lawn area between 4 raised-planter beds i built for my wife equating to about 250 SF total of lawn area. The area's soil is heavy adobe clay influence that we have nurtured over the years, but still that's the prevalent soil composition. Thanks in advance!

I probably need to use Quinclorac to kill the crabgrass but am I wasting time I money neither of which I have a lot left?
