This multi-purpose lawn seed contains ryegrass and fescue seeds to create the perfect lawn for families, entertaining and relaxing. Ideal for creating a new loawn, applying seed over existing lawns or repairing bare patches.

When to use

Apply to your existing lawn or start a new lawn during March to early October once frost has passed.

How to use

Rake - Rake the area to remove all weeds, stones or dead grass. For best results, lightly cover the area with lawn dressing. Level and firm by treading the soil. If over-seeding your existing lawn ensure you mow the grass short first.

Shake - Shake the box to mix the seeds. Using the handy sprinkler on the side of the pack, create a criss-cross pattern by sowing half the seed from left to right and the rest from top to bottom. Gently rake in and tread the seeds into the soil.

Water - For best establishment, soak with a fine spray and keep soil moist for the next few weeks. For best results, keep your new lawn watered regularly.

How much to use

For new lawns or bare patches 30g per m2. If over-seeding existing lawns apply 20g per m2 (approx. a handful). This pack will create a new lawn of approx. 33m2 (5.5m x 6m). To determine the size of your lawn multiply the length by the width in metres. Alternatively a lawn with 2.5 by 4 standard fence panels (1.82m width), will cover approx. 33m2.

After use

Moving - The grass can be trimmed when 5-8cm. Each time you mow, lower blade height until the desired height is achieved. Do not cut more than a third off the growth at any one time.

Feeding - Start feeding the lawn after 12 weeks to ensure it's kept healthy.

Children and pets - It's fine to use this product with children and pets, but little feet can damage developing seeds, so it's best to keep them off the treated areas until the grass has established.
