    I do a thin layer of soil/compost lightly over it, but the important thing is to make sure there's contact with the soil below, so do a little gentle walk over it to get that contact.
    It's too late now to sow seed though - it's highly unlikely it'll germinate, it would probably just rot. I'd leave it until spring.  :)

    I sow grass seed anytime unless it's frozen. If I wanted a top class lawn I would leave it til spring now.
