Once semi established cut watering back to every other day then ultimately water an inch of water One day a week at a time. Roots will "dive" for water and establish deep roots

Actually just looking for a small amount for some trouble spots.
I have an area that I've reseeded 3 times and it still won't take.
I roughed it up, sprinkled a little extra loam, added starting ferilizer, good quality seed, a light coat of hay, watered regularly and it still didn't take...grrrrrrrrr
Figured sod was my last resort but open to any ideas if someone has a green thumb out there.
Love the idea of blueberry sod but I'm matching up existing grass and it's not near the water
