Seed application chart
Values are approximate; quantities of seed depend on
the speed at which the machine is run. Faster running
speed results in sparser sowing.
Preparing the lawn
• Cut the grass to approximately 1-1.5 cm (½")
shorter than normal.
• Do not water before sowing.
• Remove the layer of old grass cuttings (thatch).
• Aerate the lawn with a ground aerator of the coring
type.
• Fertilize the lawn.
Seed application recommendations
• For best results, sow in two directions with a 45°
angle between.
• Water generously immediately afterward and
continue watering moderately for 10–14 days to
keep the soil moist.
• After germination, water sporadically to encourage
root growth.
