Soil Preparation
- Removal: Clear the yard of any debris, weeds, or old grass patches, and loosen the top layer of soil with a rake.
- Temperature: Gro-Sure Smart Lawn Seed Fast Start can germinate at lower temperatures, starting at 7°C, but for optimal results, wait until soil temperatures are between 10-18°C.
- Quality Matters: If your soil is poor or compacted, consider applying a quality topsoil or lawn seeding soil to improve germination and root development.
Sowing the Seed
- Spread: Evenly sprinkle Gro-Sure Smart Lawn Seed Fast Start over the prepared area. The recommended coverage is typically 1.6 kg per 40 m².
- Equipment: Use a seed spreader or the in-built applicator (if available) for an even coverage, avoiding patchy growth.
- Watering: Lightly water the area after sowing to help the aqua gel coating absorb moisture and protect the seeds from drying out.
Post-Sowing Care
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist (not waterlogged) for the first 2-3 weeks until the grass seedlings are well established.
- First Mowing: Wait until the grass reaches about 5-7 cm in height before the first mow. Use a sharp blade and set the mower to a higher setting to avoid stressing the new grass.
- Fertilising: Once the new grass is established (typically 3-4 weeks after sowing), apply Miracle-Gro Fast Green Liquid Fertiliser as directed on the label to give your lawn a nutrient boost and a vibrant color.
- Regular Maintenance: Continue regular watering, mowing, and monitoring the lawn for weeds and patchiness.
Following these steps will help you achieve the lush, green lawn you've always dreamed of with Gro-Sure Smart Lawn Seed Fast Start and Miracle-Gro Fast Green Liquid Fertiliser. Happy gardening!
