Sowing Times; March to
June, September to October.
Before sowing, there are a couple of things to consider. This will
struggle to germinate in the Summer, and if you try to sow it in the
Winter, you will find that the seed will not germinate at all.
Yes, we sell grass seed all year round, that's because it stores
exceptionally well when it is kept properly. So although, yes you
might have bought it in the Winter, but that doesn't translate to
being able to germinate in the Winter.
Pre-Sowing Tips; Preparing your seedbed well goes a long way
to ensuring successful germination and the future production of a
fantastic lawn. One of the first things you'll consider is the
quality of the soil you are working with - determining what soil
type you have will help you greatly as in in some instances, you may
have extremely poor soil quality (e.g. leftover builders material in
a new build) and it may be advisable to add top soil. Other soil
types such as sandy, clay and loam can all be worked with but will
still need to be well prepared. The ideal seedbed should be free
from weeds, moss and other debris. It will also need to be well
draining to prevent water logging and of course, level.
The most import pre-sowing tips
to note is; AVOID FROSTS AT ALL COSTS.
To Sow A New Lawn; Dig the
soil over to a depth of 20-25cm then remove weeds by hand or use a
weed killer. Add top soil if you have found your soil to be of lower
quality, raking the area to get a level seedbed.
Sow the seed at our recommended rate of 50g per m2, by hand but it's
just as useful to use a seed spreader. After sowing rake the seed in
so the seeds are amongst the soil, which will need to be firmed down
by foot or a roller, to help encourage seed to soil contact.
To Overseed A Lawn; You'll
need to remove any dead grass, weeds or moss by scarifying or raking
the area, enough so the soil becomes loose. We recommend you sow the
seed at a rate of 35g per m2, by using a seed spreader or simply by
hand.
Once you've spread your seed, rake in enough that the soil and seed
are essentially one, then firm down by foot to improve seed to soil
contact. Scottish Highlands and Islands and any other UK Islands will be sent via Royal
