      Sowing rate: 25-30 g/m2 (100-120 kg/acre)

      Sowing time: April to late August

      Sowing depth: 10 mm

      Sowing instructions:

      Eliminate weeds well before preparing the seedbed, hand weed or use a suitable weed killer (seek advice from your local store). Create a good seedbed by digging the soil over to a depth of 15 cm and leave to settle, ideally for a few weeks. Remove weeds and excess stones. Rake over the whole area to create a flat, fine and friable seedbed. Firm the seedbed by rolling or treading the site evenly.

      Carry out two equal sowings at right angles to each other and diagonally to the main axis. Broadcast manually or use seed drill, rake level and roll. Ensure good seed to soil contact. Apply a suitable fertiliser to ensure adequate nutrients are available for the seed.

      After sowing:     

      • Control weeds if necessary
      • Take the first cut when the grass is 6-8 cm and mow down to about 3 ½ cm (or the highest setting your mower will cut to) this will help the lawn to thicken out
      • Over the next few weeks gradually reduce the cutting height down to 2 ½ cm.
