FAQs

How quickly will I see results?

Under ideal warm, moist conditions, germination can begin in 4 days, with a visible lawn appearing within 10 days.

Can I sow this seed in early spring?

Yes, provided the soil temperature has reached at least 7°C.

Is the seed safe for pets once it has sprouted?

Once the grass has established and the seed hulls have broken down, it is generally safe for garden use.

Do I need to cover the seeds with soil after sowing?

Lightly raking them into the top layer of the soil is recommended to improve seed-to-soil contact and moisture retention.

How much area does one box cover?

One 1.08kg box is designed to cover up to 36m2.

Why does the box have a side applicator?

The side applicator is designed to help you distribute the seeds evenly across the lawn without needing additional tools.

Troubleshooting

Seeds are not germinating after 10 days

Check soil moisture levels; if the surface has been dry, the seeds may have stalled. Ensure consistent irrigation and check that ground temperatures have remained above 7°C.

Birds are still eating the seeds

While the seed is treated, covering the area with a light netting or garden fleece can provide extra protection for heavily infested areas.

Uneven patch growth

This is often caused by uneven distribution. Ensure the applicator is used with a consistent sweeping motion and consider overseeding sparse areas lightly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally fast growth compared to standard seed blends
  • Works in cooler soil temperatures (7°C+)
  • Includes a built-in applicator for easy distribution
  • Bird-deterrent coating protects seeds from being eaten
  • Fortified with nutrients for better root health

Cons

  • Requires consistent moisture to achieve advertised speeds
  • Limited to a 36m2 coverage area per box
  • Results may be slower if the soil is dry or ambient temperatures drop

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure success, prepare your soil by clearing away dead grass and weeds. Rake the soil to create a fine tilth. Use the built-in applicator on the 1.08kg box to sow the seed evenly over your prepared area. Once sown, lightly rake the seeds into the top surface of the soil and water gently. Ensure the area remains moist throughout the germination period. For long-term care, avoid mowing the new grass until it has reached a height of approximately 5-8cm, and set your mower to a high blade height for the first few cuts to avoid stressing the young roots.
