20kg Seed Mix for Golf Roughs & Dry Soils

Overview

This grass seed mixture is a naturally low-growing, attractive blend of fine grass species. Compared with a standard low maintenance mixture, it adds a tetraploid perennial ryegrass for quicker establishment; this cultivar has an open habit that leaves room for the finer grasses to establish. The sward tolerates dry, infertile conditions very well, cutting the need for water and fertiliser.

Golf roughs
Dry, infertile soils
Stabilising poor soils and embankments

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.
