I have read people talk about spreading top dressing on their lawns to enhance growth. It sounds like this is some kind of compost or just good black dirt. I bought a yard of black dirt last weekend to patch some really thin areas in the yard. I first spread the soil with a yard rake then added seed and starter fertilizer. After that, I added another layer of dirt. The areas I did this to are pretty lumpy and thicker than the rest of the yard. I am assuming some of that dirt settle. Did I do this right or should I have just raked the thin spots, put down seed/fertilizer and then add the black dirt on top? I am thinking about getting another yard or two of black dirt and spread it in some more thin areas and want the dirt to go as far as it can. Thanks
