20kg Fescue Seed for Golf Green Overseeding

Overview

This is a traditional 100% Fescue mixture that is especially useful for spring overseeding of high-quality golf greens, improving sward composition and helping recovery from disease scarring. It is particularly suited to links-style golf greens and exposed bowling greens without irrigation, and its Fescue cultivars need little fertiliser while producing a fine, dense sward.

How to use

From bare soil to a playing surface

Sowing

Get the ground ready before sowing: clear away stones and weeds, check that drainage is adequate, and make sure the surface is level, firm and moist.
Spread the seed evenly at the recommended sowing rate, to a depth of around 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

Prepare the existing turf by clearing excess thatch and cutting back on irrigation and fertiliser.
Apply at the recommended overseeding rate.
A disc seeder or a studded seed roller will give the best results.
