Sowing and Overseeding

Sow once soil temperatures are warm enough for germination.
Prepare the surface, then sow at the correct rate and depth for this mixture (see Specifications).
A disc seeder or a studded seed roller gives the best results.
If rain is not forecast soon, water the area until the top 10 mm of soil is wet, without letting water pool.
Keep the surface moist but not waterlogged for at least 2 - 3 weeks.
Make the first cut once the seedlings have three leaves, taking off no more than one third of the leaf height.
Carry on cutting 1 - 2 times a week, removing no more than one third of the leaf height each time, and gradually bring the grass down to the height of cut you want.
