My neighbour planted some too, the exact same seed and it is patchy and sparse.
What I do went planting grass seed is to cut the lawn and sprinkle the cuttings on top quite thickly.
As the seed grows it 'lifts' the cuttings and the now brown cuttings can be gently swept away.
What the grass cuttings do is to prevent the birds eating the seed and they also act as a mulch to keep the growing seeds moist.
I also water the top of the cuttings daily with a fine spray.
