Seed or not?

[GAM]

We have just laid a herringbone of 9" twin wall pipe across what was a very wet field... the trenches were huge, which meant there is a lot of soil without grass on it now its be reinstated! would it be best to scatter some grass seed on it now, or wait until the end of August?

Now .. and quite thickly otherwise weeds will choke out the strips

Been a good drop of "wet" rain too

I’d wait because it will sink in the next few months

I've got some patching seed £25 acre , chuck some of that on for now just to keep it clean

Leave it humped slightly and get seed on Will sink less with some root masss to it

We've done similar a while ago. Seeded the drain tops with a view to keeping weeds in check. Let it settle for a year then plough and reseed. Obv we'd DD if we had anything about us but then we wouldn't have many teeth left or mower blades for that matter.
