Directions for Use

How to Use

• Prepare the Area: Thoroughly dig over the area intended for seeding, removing all stones and weeds to ensure a clean seedbed.

• Level and Firm: Level the area and then firm it by treading on it evenly. Rake the area in one direction, then repeat the process in the opposite direction until you achieve a firm, even seedbed.

• Watering (Pre-Sowing): Water the area thoroughly, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged.

• Sowing: Evenly distribute the seed over the prepared area at a rate of 35g/m². For accurate application, consider using a spreader or evenly broadcasting the seeds by hand.

• Covering the Seed: Lightly rake over the seeded area to cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. This protects the seeds and promotes good seed-to-soil contact, aiding germination.

Where and When to Apply

• Usage: Ideal for creating new lawns or for overseeding existing lawns to fill in thin or bare patches and enhance overall density.

• Sowing Time: Best sown during the growing season, typically from March to September, when soil temperatures are favorable for germination.

• Maintenance: Keep the seeded area consistently moist until the new lawn is well-established, typically within a few weeks after sowing.

Cautions

• Avoid Overcrowding: Ensure even distribution of seeds to prevent overcrowding, which can inhibit proper growth and establishment.

• Watch for Weeds: Monitor the newly seeded area for weed growth and promptly remove any weeds that appear to prevent competition with the grass seedlings.

• Traffic: Minimize foot traffic on the newly seeded area until the grass is well-established to prevent soil compaction and damage to emerging seedlings.

• Storage: Store the seed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its viability until ready for use.

• Protect from Pests: Take precautions to protect the newly seeded area from birds, rodents, and other pests that may disturb or consume the seeds.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q1: How does the Rootgrow fungi benefit the grass seed?

  • A: The fungi help the young grass plants establish a larger root network quickly, which improves their ability to absorb water and nutrients, leading to a stronger, more resilient lawn faster.

• Q2: Can I sow this seed later than September?

  • A: Sowing outside of the March to September window carries a risk, as cold soil temperatures can prevent germination or kill emerging seedlings.

• Q3: How soon can I start mowing a new lawn?

  • A: Do not mow until the new grass is approximately 5-7cm tall. Set the mower blades high to only remove the top third of the grass height for the first few cuts.
