Gardeners Hard-Wearing Lawn Grass Seed - 5KG

Product Information

Unfortunately, as comes with seedbed preparation, weed seeds can lay dormant in the soil and it’s not until they are disturbed and the conditions are ideal, that they then can start to germinate. Under optimum conditions, the seed should germinate within approximately 14-21days. Once it reaches 3-4 inches, cut the lawn for the first time, gradually lowering the height with each subsequent cut as desired.

Fine-leaved, creeping fescue species, recommended by the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) for premium-qualitylawns. BS Quality FineLawn Seed is a ryegrass-freegrass seed mixture containing high-quality, fine-leaved fescues and bentgrass. Perfect for ornamental, luxury front lawns and creating a distinctive striped finish.

Regularly fertilising your lawn will provide it with the nutrients it requires to stay lush and green all year-round. Rake the area to loosen the top layer of soil. Apply our Pre-Seeding Lawn Fertiliserand rake into the soil. Allow your lawn to grow to around 3-4 inches in height before cutting your lawn. This can be reduced by half an inch each time until you reach the desired height. An established lawn sown with our Quality Fine Grass Seed can be cut as low as 10-20mm. It is important to remove the grass cuttings as dead grass will prevent sunlight from getting to the new grass. Grass seed requires warmth, moisture and light to germinate. Typically, autumn will provide more favourable conditions for sowing in terms of moisture, however, if there is a period of drought, manually watering the seeds will be beneficial – this can be done every other evening to allow the moisture to soak into the soil.

Cut the existing grass short and almost scalp the lawn with the lawn mower. Remove any dead grass, debris and thatch. If you find that weeds appear during establishment, these will generally be taken out by regular mowing once the lawn has reached around 3-4 inches in height. If the weeds are recurring, after 4 months, a Selective Weedkiller can be applied which will kill common lawn weeds, whilst leaving the existing grass unharmed.
