20kg Universal Grass Seed for Sports Grounds

Overview

This mixture is particularly well suited to close-mown areas that will see heavy wear. Its high share of perennial ryegrass cultivars gives rapid establishment, while the rhizomatous slender creeping red fescue spreads vegetatively through the ryegrass, building sward density and providing good tolerance of wear and close mowing.

Applications

Close-mown sports grounds where heavy wear is expected

Key Features

Fast establishment
Highly tolerant of wear and close mowing
Fine, dense appearance
Slender creeping red fescue spreads through the ryegrass to increase sward density
Treated with a coating to aid growth and establishment

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.
