Miracle-Gro Evergreen Shady Lawn Seed - 420g 14m2

Ideal for creating a new lawn, over-seeding or repairing bare patches in shady areas.

Specialist seed without ryegrass for fine, dense lawn.

Instructions for use

Rake: Rake the area to remove all weeds, stones or dead grass. If over-seeding ensure you mow the grass short first. Lightly cover the area with Miracle-Gro Lawn Dressing. Level and firm by treading the soil.

Shake: Shake the box to mix the seeds. If over-seeding apply 20g per m2 (approx a handful) and for new lawns or bare patches 30g per m2. 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: Soak with a fine spray and keep soil moist for the next few weeks.

When will I see the results?

In ideal conditions when the soil is moist, grass will start to appear from 7-10 days. In less favourable conditions allow 10-14 days.

When do I use it?

Apply to your lawn during March to early October once frost has passed.

How much will I need?

This pack will create a new lawn on 14m2 (7m x 2m). To determine the size of your lawn multiply the length by the width in metres. Alternatively a lawn with 2 by 2 standard fence panels (1.82m width), will cover approx 14m2.

Aftercare for a thicker, healthier lawn

Mowing: The grass can be trimmed when 5-8cm. Each time you mow, lower blade height a level until it's at 2.5cm. Do not cut more than 1/3 off the growth at any one time.

Feeding: Start feeding your lawn after the second mowing to ensure it's kept healthy. 

Children and pets: It's fine to use this product in gardens 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.
