Back yard has a decent slope. I have seeded the yard, fertilized, and covered in straw. Watered two times a day for 30min but the grass is growing patchy and Im not sure if the seed is still where it needs to be on the hill. Furthermore it was a new house and the builder has fescue sod installed after 1 year it went dead in the front and side yards. Just want to have a green lush yard and it seems hydro seeding is the way to go
