It taken near 3 weeks for my seeds to come though and I get a lot of sun. Maybe you need more watering if it's not raining. A good watering really helped.
Have you put a lawn fertilizer down?
If you get down really low and look, is there really no grass coming through at all?
I turned the soil, raked and leveled, seeded, raked, trampled.

I've had the sprinkler on for 10 minutes most days, any more than that starts to end up with standing water.
Didn't put any fertilizer down, most of the guides seem to suggest not to. Did rake through a couple of bags of compost though.
Nothing that I can see, although it is on an existing lawn so hard to be definite.

Any thoughts on why grass seed refuses to germinate in my garden? Garden is south facing and gets a reasonable amount of sun although some bits are a bit shaded until late afternoon.
First lot didn't do anything despite reasonable amount of watering but possibly too cold.
Second lot I put down a few weeks ago. Broke the soil up first, raked through some compost, 5-10 minutes of watering each day. Fuck all has happened.
