Directions for Use
For best results, sow in early spring or early fall, when temperatures are consistently between 15°C and 26°C (60°F - 80°F).
- Prepare:
- Overseeding: Mow the lawn at the lowest setting. Rake to loosen the top layer of soil and remove clippings and thatch.
- Bare Soil: Rake to loosen the soil to a depth of 3 to 5 cm.
- Apply: Use a spreader to distribute the seeds evenly. Refer to the spreader setting chart on the back of the bag for precise calibration.
- Incorporate: Lightly rake the area to ensure optimal seed-to-soil contact.
- Water: This is a critical step. Keep the soil moist with light, daily misting until the new grass reaches approximately 5 cm in height.
Understanding the Formulation (NPK)
The integrated nutrients (12-0-0) serve a specific role in the establishment of your new lawn:
- Nitrogen (12%): The primary driver for growth. It stimulates chlorophyll production, ensuring a vibrant green color and rapid leaf development.
- Phosphorus (0%) & Potassium (0%): This specialized formula focuses exclusively on controlled-release nitrogen. It complements existing soil minerals to direct all the seedling's energy into top-growth density.
- Coating Technology: The use of polymers and paraffin waxes ensures nutrients remain available to the roots over time, preventing leaching into the environment.
