Shade Tolerant Grass Seed Mixture 10kg/20kg

Overview

This is a versatile grass seed mixture developed to give a highly wear-tolerant turf in shaded conditions. Rough stalked meadow grass germinates quickly for rapid establishment, while rhizomatous creeping fescues spread vegetatively through the meadow grass to form a fine, dense sward with good colour and growth throughout the year.

Applications

How to use

From bare soil to a fine lawn

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.
