How to Use

Preparation

Clear away any debris and remove/kill weeds before sowing.

New Lawn (or Patch Repair)

• Dig over the soil to a depth of 20-25cm
• Break down any lumps and firm the soil by treading it down
• Level out using a rake, creating a flat and even surface
• Spread Gro-Sure® Lawn Seeding Soil over the surface to a 3-4 cm depth and level out.

Revitalising Existing Lawn

• Mow the lawn closely
• Rake or scarify the area to open up the soil surface
• Fill any shallow holes with Westland Lawn & Turf Dressing and level out.

Sowing

Tip: In dry conditions, water the soil thoroughly the day before sowing.

• Shake the box to mix up the seeds
• Lightly rake to incorporate the seed into the soil
• Walk over or roll the sown area to press the seed into the soil

Watering

• Water the area thoroughly using a fine-rose watering can or sprinkler, taking care not to wash the seeds away.
• In dry conditions, water daily to maintain soil moisture levels until seed germinates and establishes.

Aftercare

• Keep new lawns well watered especially in dry conditions.
• Do not use weed killers or strong fertilisers on new lawns and always read the product label before use.

The overseeding of your existing lawn is an essential part of your annual lawn maintenance. All lawns are affected by the specific growing environment. This includes their level of use and general weather conditions. As a result of these conditions, its key to understand the basic principles of overseeding. Its also important to choose the right  seed mix to achieve a greener and healthier lawn.

Overseeding achieves:

• To  infill damaged, bare or thin patches, as well as worn areas to achieve a greater thickness
• All of our lawn seed is pantone matched. So it does not matter if you have used a previous seed product. The colour will be the same – overseeding will improve the colour of the lawn overall
• Reduce weeds and moss

When should I overseed my lawn:

The best time to do this is either in spring or autumn or both. Germination can take between 7 and 21 days so you will require the ideal conditions these seasons will bring.

Tips

• 4-5 days before sowing a new lawn, lightly rake Westland Growmore into the soil
• When preparing to sow, if the soil is dry water it thoroughly the day before and leave to soak in overnight
• The top of the soil should be dry with moist soil just below the surface on the day of sowing
• Store in a cool, dry place and use within the season of purchase

Usage Advice
