Sprinkle Grass Seeds and Watch it grow?

I am too lazy to plant grass seeds by using the comon practice of top soiling, adding fertilizer, and placing the seeds on top and then covering with some top soil (to keep birds away) and then watering....That is too much work. My grass looks a bit dead in areas and i just want to take the easy way out and just use a spreader to spray grass seeds all over the area and water. Is this good enough.. Will my lawn grow new grass blades because of this seeding style? Thanks

1. It'll grow allright, but it'll just take a bit longer than usual. You may lose some of your seeds to the birdies, too.
2. LOL. Boy are YOU going to have a lot of birds in YOUR yard...
3. it will grow but every bird in the neighborhood will come out and eat the seeds. lol..ASTROTURF
4. why not put down sod? Seed is cheaper. We dont put dirt over our seed. We scratch the soil a little with a yard rake so the seed can fall in a rut then we just spread hay over it and water for about 5 days. Comes us great. Does best if you plant in spring or fall. Dont mow till you have a good stand.
