Reseeding the carport

Hello,

I've spent the last few days reseeding the lawn around my carport. This was planted late last summer however due to the extreme heat northern Italy went through most of it wilted or got stunted. I took the opportunity to also get rid of the soil inside the driveways (one hell of a pain of a job...) so we can replace it with white pebbles. The image shows the situation as of this afternoon. To get here I:

- forked, raised and broke the soil up - this was needed as it had compacted itself to the consistency of a well-seasoned adobe wall...

- raked the soil using a scarifying rake to get rid of dead and excess vegetation and also to prepare it for seeding;

- added seed and pellet fertilizer;

- added a covering of sifted soil and compost;

- raked everything together to bury the seed.

Not having any experience with such operations I would like to know if I did it correctly or did I forget to do anything.

Cheers Nicholas
