Directions for use:
Spray the area to be sown with a glyphosate weed killer to kill existing weeds and grasses.
After they have died, rake to remove all dead weeds, stones and debris.
Prepare the soil by digging to a depth of 10-15cm and rake the ground to establish a fine texture.
Contour the area as required then tread lightly to firm up the ground.
Apply a lawn starter fertiliser at recommended rates and rake in.
Divide the amount of seed to be sown in half.
Sow the first half in a north-south direction and the second half in an east-west direction to ensure an even result and lightly rake over.
Keep newly sown lawn damp at all times by watering regularly with a fine mist spray to ensure seed germinates.
Allow the new lawn to grow 7cm then mow lightly and continue for 3-4 weeks. For subsequent mowing set the mower to the desired height.
When a lawn is more than 6 weeks old, fertiliser with a quality lawn fertiliser.
Note: Optimum time for sowing in autumn and spring.
