Guide to Applying Lawn Seed

PREPARING YOUR GROUND FOR A NEW LAWN:
Approximately 2 weeks before sowing your lawn, prepare your ground by clearing away weeds and debris. Even out the ground surface and apply Morton Smith-Dawe Lawn Fertiliser approximately 20g per square metre and water in well.

SOWING NEW LAWN:
Rake lightly to loosen surface and to ensure surface is even. Apply Morton Smith-Dawe Lawn Seed approximately 1kg per 32 square metres and rake very lightly to ensure seed is covered with a light layer of soil.

WATERING NEW LAWN:
It is important to keep your new lawn moist at all times in the first 2-3 weeks to ensure more even growth. When watering, use a mist spray until lawn is fully established, ensuring water does not puddle.

MOWING:
Allow your new lawn approx 6cm in growth before mowing and cut very lightly leaving approximately 3cm of length. Repeat for the next 3-4 times. Once your lawn is established or after 3-4 months, apply Morton Smith-Dawe Lawn Fertiliser using approximately 35g per square metre, water in well. This will help with growth and to ensure a lush green lawn.
