20kg Grass Seed for Golf Tees & Cricket Outfields

Overview

This is a highly adaptable grass seed mixture that forms a fine, dense sward. Thanks to the rhizomatous habit of its creeping red fescue and Browntop Bent cultivars, it recovers strongly and offers good disease resistance, while its low nutrient and irrigation needs and tolerance of close mowing keep upkeep to a minimum.

Applications

Golf tees
Golf fairways
Cricket outfields
Sowing new areas and overseeding existing turf

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.
