Why It Works
- Seed turns in the slot – the flat base lets each seed turn as it germinates, which encourages stronger root growth
- The right depth – the slot sits exactly where bent and fine-turf grasses germinate best, and helps the seed take up moisture
- Protected seedbed – top dressing sand fills the slot, sheltering the seed and strengthening the young root structure
- Fast results – germination often happens in less than 7 days, for healthier, more resilient turf
Ideal For
- Repairing disease scars and dry spots on golf greens
- Targeted overseeding of walk-off areas and tees
- Fine-turf renovation on bowling greens and croquet lawns
How to Use
- Run the seed slotter across the target area to cut the slots.
- Broadcast bent or fine grass seed so it falls into every slot.
- Apply dry top dressing sand to fill the slots and protect the seed.
- Finish with a lute for a perfectly even surface.
Tips for Best Results
- Keep the treated area moist until the seedlings are established.
- Keep traffic off the repaired area while the new grass gets going.
