Product Information

Full details

Gro-Sure Fast Acting Lawn Seed is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking to repair bare patches or establish a new lawn quickly. The primary benefit of this blend is its ability to germinate in soil temperatures as low as 7°C, allowing for an extended planting season, though it requires consistent moisture and soil preparation to ensure effective results across the full 13m² coverage area.

FAQs

How quickly will I see results?

Under ideal moist and warm conditions, seeds can begin to germinate in 4 days, with a visible young lawn appearing within 10 days.

Can I use this on existing grass?

Yes, this is ideal for overseeding thin patches to thicken your existing lawn.

What is the minimum temperature for sowing?

The seeds are engineered to germinate at soil temperatures as low as 7°C.

How much ground does one box cover?

Each 390g box contains enough seed to cover up to 13m².

Do I need to cover the seeds with soil?

Yes, lightly raking the seed into the top layer of soil ensures better contact and protection from the elements.

Is the bird-deterrent coating toxic?

The coating is a specialized deterrent dressing designed to be safe for local wildlife while effectively discouraging consumption.

Troubleshooting

Seed not germinating after 10 days

Check soil moisture levels; if the soil has dried out, the germination process stalls. Ensure consistent watering.

Patchy growth pattern

This is often caused by uneven seed distribution. Use a hand spreader or divide the area into smaller grids to ensure an even application.

Birds still eating the seeds

While the seed is treated with a deterrent, use a physical barrier like garden netting or fleece in areas with high bird populations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster germination compared to traditional seed blends
  • Effective at lower soil temperatures extending the planting season
  • Bird-deterrent coating minimizes seed loss
  • Enriched with nutrients to support early growth stages

Cons

  • Limited coverage area of 13m² is best suited for small projects
  • Requires strictly maintained soil moisture to achieve advertised speeds
  • Success is dependent on soil preparation prior to sowing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure success, check your soil temperature with a thermometer before sowing; if it is consistently above 7°C, you are ready to begin. Avoid sowing during periods of heavy wind or expected frost. After sowing, keep the soil consistently damp; if the soil dries out during the initial germination phase, the seeds may fail to develop. Once the grass reaches approximately 5-8cm in height, perform the first light mow, being careful not to remove more than a third of the blade length. Avoid using heavy chemicals or weed killers on the new grass until it has been mowed at least three or four times to ensure it has reached maturity.
