Directions

Preparation

1. New lawn: Firstly prepare the soil by clearing away any debris. Treat the area with Weed Weapon

Extra Strength Weed Killer and dig out any perennial weeds. Once the soil is clear of weeds, prepare

a seedbed: On a dry day, dig over the soil to a depth of 20-25 cm. Break down any lumps and tread

the soil to firm it again. Level out any bumps or hollows using a rake, aiming to create a flat, even

surface. The day before sowing, water thoroughly if the soil is dry and leave to soak in overnight. TIP

– The top of the soil should be dry with moist soil just below the surface on the day of sowing.

Existing lawn: Remove any weeds either by hand or by using LawnPro Turfclean. Once weeds are

dead, mow the lawn closely before raking or scarifying to remove any moss and weed remains. If the

ground appears hard or compacted, aerate using a garden fork and rake over to make sure the

ground is level. Finally, spread soil to fill any shallow holes and level out the surface.

Sowing

2. TIP – Shake the box of seed thoroughly to mix up the seeds. Tear back the strip to expose the

applicator holes and to sprinkle the seeds. Apply the seed at a rate of 40 g/m2 (30 g/m2 for lawn

repairs). As a guide, one large handful is approximately 40 g. Sprinkling the seed in 2 passes at right

angles to each other will help spread the seed more uniformly. Lightly rake to gently incorporate the

seed into the surface.

After Sowing

3. Rolling: The ground should be rolled or lightly firmed by walking over it and pressing the seed into

the soil.

Watering: Water the lawn thoroughly using a fine-rosed watering can or a lawn sprinkler which

produces a fine spray, taking care not to wash the seeds away. TIP – If sowing a new lawn in very hot

conditions the lawn should be watered late in the day once the sun has gone down. It is better to

water thoroughly once rather than several times lightly.

Mowing: Grass can be cut for the first time when it is 5-8 cm high. A light trim will be sufficient

initially. Gradually lower the cutting height to about 3 cm, which is ideal. Do not remove more than

1/3rd of the growth at any one time.

TIP – Alternating the direction of the mowing encourages the lawn to thicken.

Feeding: After 10-12 weeks we recommend feeding your new lawn with LawnPro 7-Day-Green.

Simply apply after mowing for visible greening in just 3 days.

areas.

• Store in a cool dry place, out of direct sunlight and use within season of purchase.
