Lawn Sowing - Advice
Step 1: Preparation
Before sowing the seed it is important to prepare the soil
- Dig the soil to a depth of 15cm
- Roughly level soil with a rake and allow to settle for a week if possible
- Rake to the 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
- Sow April to mid October on a calm & dry day
- Sowing rate of 35g (a good hand full) per m2
- Too little seed means your lawn will be slower to establish or may have weeds
- Too much seed leaves your lawn prone to disease
- Scatter seed evenly - first moving left to right and then up and down
- Note: you could use a Broadcast spreader to do this job
- Lightly work the soil from left to right and back and forth to bury seeds to roughly 0.5cm
Step 3: Caring for a New Lawn
- The grass should appear after 7-21 days
- Once it appears make sure to keep the lawn watered using a fine water setting
- Do not cut the lawn until it reaches a height of 8cm (3")
- Gradually reduce blade's height until it is reduced to 2.5cm (1")
