20kg Fescue Grass Seed for High Quality Greens
SKU TCP1007
Overview
This mixture blends three chewings fescue cultivars with three slender creeping red fescue cultivars to produce a top-quality fine turf sward. Chewings fescue gives high shoot density and copes well with close mowing, while the creeping red fescues spread by rhizomes, adding density, wear tolerance and the ability to recover after damage. It now includes the top-rated Absolom slender creeping red fescue.

How to use
From bare soil to a playing surface
Sowing New Areas
- Get the surface ready before sowing, making sure that:
- Stones and weeds have been cleared away.
- Drainage is adequate.
- The surface is level and firm.
- The surface is moist.
- Spread the seed evenly at the recommended sowing rate, to a depth of roughly 10 mm.
- Keep the surface moist for a minimum of 2 - 3 weeks.
- Take the first cut once the grass has reached 5 - 6 cm in height and tillering has begun.
Overseeding Existing Turf
- Prepare the turf by clearing out excess thatch and cutting back on irrigation and fertiliser.
- Apply at the recommended overseeding rate.
- For the best results, use a disc seeder or a studded seed roller.
