Fine Lawn Seed Mixture 10kg/20kg
This is a 100% fescue grass seed mixture, free of ryegrass, for fine lawns and landscaping. Its high proportion of strong creeping red fescue helps to stabilise the soil, and because red fescues spread vegetatively through rhizomes they fill in surrounding areas to give excellent green cover all year round.
Fescue thrives in low-nutrient conditions where maintenance is kept to a minimum. Under favourable conditions the mix roots well for drought resistance, and as fescue is naturally resistant to disease, it also offers outstanding disease resistance.

Sowing
- Before sowing, prepare the ground so that stones and weeds have been cleared, drainage is adequate, the surface is level and firm, and the soil 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.
- Carry out the first cut once the grass reaches 5 - 6 cm in height and has begun tillering.
Overseeding
- Get the existing turf ready by taking out excess thatch and cutting back on irrigation and fertiliser.
- Apply the seed at the recommended overseeding rate.
- For the best results, use a disc seeder or a studded seed roller.
