20kg Extreme Wear Sports Grass Seed

Overview

This mixture is designed for areas that take extreme wear. Its cultivars establish quickly and are extremely resilient, so playing surfaces recover rapidly from damage and tolerate close mowing. The Perennial Ryegrass cultivars form a dense sward that cuts cleanly, resist disease and keep good colour all year round.

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 10mm.
Keep the surface moist for a minimum of 2 - 3 weeks.
Take the first cut once the grass has reached 5 - 6cm 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.
