Description
Utility and play lawns need to be quickly repairing and hard wearing to maintain a covering of grass. This means they must contain a good proportion of dwarf rye grass. This rye grass variety is quite fine without being coarse and makes for a great looking lawn on a medium to high cut. It is by no means a 'budget' lawn!
Sowing Rates
- New lawn: 35 grams per square metre
- Over seeding: 25 to 50 grams per square metre
Mowing Height
- Normal use: 1" to 11/2" (2.5 to 4cm)
- Heavy use, winter or drought: 2" or above (5cm plus)
Grass Seed Mixture
- 50% Dwarf perennial rye grass
- 50% Strong creeping red fescue
The Seeding Secret
There are many 'miracle' patch, repair and seed packs that claim to germinate and grow quicker than the next! The secret - a bit of fertiliser! So, for new lawns or patching sow your seed between April and September, have the sprinkler ready if it doesn't rain and feed your new seedlings with a STARTER feed to speed establishment and bring your new lawn into use sooner. For established lawns when overseeding use a seasonal fertiliser; the 'sandy soil' version is the best for this situation as it contains a broader range of nutrients compared to the 'clay soil' version thus looking after both your existing grass and the new seedlings better.
