SOWING DATES

Best sow between September to November or April to May. Young grass will appear in 7 days, in favourable weather conditions, provided these sowing directions are followed. Young grass will appear in 14-21 days in unfavourable weather conditions.

SOWING RATES

NEW LAWN: 25g per metre. Use 35g per square metre for quicker establishment
OVERSOWING: 15g per square metre

SOWING A NEW LAWN

Remove perennial weeds, stones and rubbish before sowing. Dig to a depth of 15-22cm.
For a first-rate lawn, top dress with lawn soil or quality garden loam.
Produce a firm, level seed bed by raking and treading or rolling.
If possible, leave seed bed for a few weeks before sowing, to allow weed seeds to germinate. Spray weeds with Yates Zero Rapid 1-Hour Action Weedkiller Ready to Use.
Rake in Yates Dynamic Lifter Organic Lawn Food 4-5 days before sowing. Divide area to be sown into manageable sections (i.e. square metres).
Shake the box to mix the seed and scatter evenly over each section. Sow half the seed in an east-west direction, then the other half in a north-south direction.
After sowing, rake the seed into the soil. Lightly roll if possible.
Water regularly with fine spray keeping the seed bed constantly moist until seed has germinated and is well established.

OVERSOWING AN EXISTING LAWN

Closely mow the lawn. Scarify lawn using a spring tine rake to remove and break up layers of dead matted grass or thatch.
Spike lawn with a fork, to a depth of at least 15cm, to eliminate compaction.
Rake in Yates Dynamic Lifter Organic Lawn Food 4-5 days before sowing the grass seed.
Grass seed can be mixed with equal proportions of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix to ensure even seed distribution.
Shake the box to mix the seed and then scatter the seed evenly over the lawn to ensure a good blend with existing grass.
For best results, sow after the lawn has been moistened.
After sowing, rake area so that the seed comes into contact with moisture. This will improve germination. Lightly roll if possible.
Water regularly with fine spray keeping the seed bed constantly moist until the seed has germinated and is well established.
