More About the Mixture:  Grass Seed: Dwarf Ryegrass is a specifically bred strain of Perennial Ryegrass, selected for its ability to produce a thicker sward than a standard Ryegrass species and its shorter growth habits.  Strong Creeping Red Fescue has creeping rhizomes. Rhizomes are a network of roots that live under the surface of the ground they typically grow horizontally, rather than vertically. Rhizomes often give the plant a higher chance of survival in tough environmental conditions. This species of grass has a more vigorous creeping habit than some similar species which helps to create a dense, hardwearing lawn. The shallow roots help it to remain green even in the driest of soils.  Fertiliser: This phosphate-rich fertiliser will provide your seedbed with the best foundation for establishing new seedlings as phosphorus aids healthy grassroots and shoots. The potassium content will help the grass become strong and hardy, fighting off any diseases that seedlings are susceptible to. The nitrogen will give your lawn the desired rich green look we all desire.  This fertiliser is made up of homogenous granules. This means that each granule has the same nutrient analysis to ensure an even spread of nutrients across the sown area. With Cheaper blended fertilisers, the analysis is represented in the bag rather than each granular, which leads to an uneven spread of nutrients. Using a Blended fertiliser can lead to a patchy lawn, parts of your lawn may grow quicker than others and the colour of the grass may differ throughout.

How Do I Sow A New Lawn? 

• Prepare the soil by removing any weeds, moss, stones and other debris.
• Add topsoil if think the current soil is of poor quality or if you need to level out your lawn.
• Rake over the site to leave a level and fine finish seedbed.
• Three to five days before you sow the grass seed, lightly rake in our Pre-Seed Fertiliser to encourage growth and root development.
• Sow the seeds at the recommended rate of 35g per m2.
• After sowing, lightly rake over the area.
• Firm down the seedbed by foot or by using a roller to improve contact between seeds and soil.

How Do I Overseed an Existing Lawn? 

• Scarify your lawn to remove any dead grass, weeds and moss.
• Ensure the soil isn’t too compact by raking the area sufficiently.
• Three to five days before you sow the grass seed, lightly rake in our Pre-Seed Fertiliser to encourage growth and root development.

When To Use Pre-Seed Fertiliser: 

Without carrying out a full soil analysis, it is very difficult to know exactly which nutrients your lawn requires. Our Pre-Seed Fertiliser contains appropriate quantities of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium that will nourish low nutrient soil to aid germination. 

It is best to use Pre-Seed Fertiliser 3 – 5 days before sowing grass seed or laying turf. It can also be used as a lawn tonic to give your lawn a boost throughout the growing season. 

How To Apply 

• Apply our fertiliser at the recommended rate by hand (remember to wear a glove!) or by using a spreader.
• Water the fertiliser in until it dissolves, the ground must be free from frost, so they don’t freeze.
• Keep children and pets off the lawn until the granules have dissolved. The granules should dissolve within 24 hours.
• Remove or clean the footwear you were wearing during application to avoid damaging surrounding areas such as patios.
