Before sowing the seed it is important to prepare the soil

• Dig the soil to a depth of 15cm
• Roughly level our solie with a rake and allow to settle for a week if possible
• Rake teh side to remove new weeds and create a fine seed bed
• Firm the soil by treading the site evenly
• Then rake the soil again

Step 2: Sowing the Seed

• Sowing rate of 35g (a good hand full) per m2

• Lightly work the soil from left to right and back and forth to bury seeds to roughly .5cm
