Condition selects the low, mid, or high end of your grass type’s rate range.
¼″ is a typical overseeding topdressing depth.
The math:
Seed (lb) = (Area ÷ 1,000) × rate for grass type & condition
Topdressing (cu ft) = Area × (Depth ÷ 12) · Cu yd = Cu ft ÷ 27
You need approximately
20
lb of grass seed
That’s about
1
50 lb bag
at 4 lb / 1,000 sq ft
Plus topdressing
104.2
cu ft of compost (3.86 cu yd)
For 5,000 sq ft, patchy.
