When I forked the grass, I could see lots of open holes. These now appear to have closed up. Should I do it again, and brush in some sharp sand to keep them open?

Also, roughly how long would you expect it to take to see some growth from the grass seed? The box said 7-14 days, but then manufacturers of almost anything are to be disbelieved about almost everything.

Cheers.
