Overseeding Grass Seed for Renovation 20kg

Overview

This is a seed mixture made specifically for autumn and winter overseeding programmes. Its four cultivars all have a proven ability to germinate and establish quickly, even when soil temperatures are low (0-10°C), and the rough stalked meadow grass raises shoot density while giving excellent shade tolerance.

Applications

Autumn and winter overseeding programmes
Sports turf renovation, including shaded areas

How to use

From bare soil to a playing surface

Sowing

Get the surface ready before sowing: clear away stones and weeds, check that drainage is adequate, and leave the ground level, firm and 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

Prepare the existing sward by clearing excess thatch and cutting back on irrigation and fertiliser beforehand.
Apply at the recommended overseeding rate.
For the best results, sow with a disc seeder or a studded seed roller.
