Multi Sport Grass Seed 20kg

Overview

This is a 20kg multi-purpose grass seed mixture developed for schools and colleges that need a high-quality, versatile sward. Its perennial ryegrass cultivars establish rapidly, making it ideal for renovation, while the strong creeping red fescue spreads through the ryegrass by rhizomes to build sward density and wear tolerance, giving an attractive colour and a clean cut.

Sowing Guidance

Prepare the surface before sowing, making sure that:
- Stones and weeds have been removed
- Drainage is adequate
- The surface is level and firm
- The surface is moist
Spread the seed evenly at the correct sowing rate, to a depth of about 10 mm.
Keep the surface moist for at least 2 - 3 weeks.
Give the first cut once the grass reaches 5 - 6 cm and has begun tillering.

Overseeding Guidance

Prepare the existing turf by taking out excess thatch and cutting back on irrigation and fertiliser.
Apply at the correct overseeding rate.
For the best results, use a disc seeder or a studded seed roller.
