FAQs
How much seed do I need?
The product is designed to cover between 57-100m2. Follow the instructions on the packaging for the exact seeding rate.
When is the best time to sow the seed?
The best time to sow grass seed is during the spring or fall when temperatures are moderate, and there's sufficient moisture.
How often should I water the new lawn?
Water frequently enough to keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged, until the grass is established. After establishment, water deeply but less frequently.
How long does it take for the grass to grow?
Germination typically takes 7-21 days, depending on the conditions. The lawn should be fully established within a few months.

What kind of soil is best for this seed?
While the seed is suitable for most soil types, it performs best in well-draining soil.
Troubleshooting
