Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the soil by removing weeds and debris. Loosen the soil to a depth of about 10cm.
- Rake the area smooth, breaking up any large clumps.
- Sow the seed evenly at the recommended rate (check packaging for specific details, typically around 35g per square meter).
- Lightly rake the seed into the soil (about 1-1.5cm deep).
- Gently firm the soil using a roller or by treading.
- Water gently and consistently, especially during dry spells, to keep the seedbed moist until germination.
Compatibility: This seed is suitable for most soil types and garden conditions, particularly those experiencing high foot traffic or pet activity. It is designed for outdoor lawns.
Care:
- Mowing: Begin mowing when the grass reaches about 5-7cm in height. Use a high mower setting for the first few cuts. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at a time.
- Watering: Water deeply during dry periods, especially in the first year, to encourage deep root growth.
- Fertilizing: Use a balanced lawn fertilizer in spring and autumn to maintain health and color.
