What to Expect

In good conditions blades of grass can usually be seen within 3 weeks, however if the conditions are unfavourable this may take considerably longer.

When to Use

Lawn seed may be sown from March to October. Ideally sow during March to May or September to October. Lawn seed grows best when the soil temperature is consistently around 10—18°C. If conditions stray out of this range, time and rate of germination can be negatively impacted.

How to Create a New Lawn (or Patch Repair)

1. Clear away any debris and remove/kill weeds before sowing
2. Dig over the soil to a depth of 20-25cm
3. Break down any lumps and firm the soil by treading it down
4. Level out using a rake, creating a flat and even surface
5. Spread top soil over the surface to a 3-4 cm depth and level out.
6. Using the built in applicator, shake the seeds evenly over the soil
7. Lightly rake to incorporate the seed into the soil
8. Walk over or roll the sown area to press the seed into the soil

How to Revitalise Existing Lawns

2. Rake or scarify the area to open up the soil surface
3. Fill any shallow holes with top soil and level out.

Watering

Water the area thoroughly using a fine-rose watering can or sprinkler, taking care not to wash the seeds away. In dry conditions, water daily to maintain soil moisture levels until seed germinates and establishes.

Aftercare

Keep new lawns well watered especially in dry conditions. Do not use weed killers or strong fertilisers on new lawns and always read the product label before use.

Usage Advice
