FAQs
Can I use this seed for a completely new lawn?
Yes, this seed is suitable for new lawns, but it is specifically optimized for rapid establishment and patching.
How long does it take to see sprouts?
Under ideal conditions with correct moisture and temperature, germination is rapid, often appearing within 10 to 14 days.
Is this grass safe for pets?
Yes, once the grass is established, it is perfectly safe for pets to use.
Do I need to water the area after sowing?
While the Aqua Gel retains water, it is recommended to keep the area moist through regular light watering during the first few weeks.
Can I sow this in the middle of winter?
No, while it is cold-tolerant, it requires at least 7°C to germinate effectively.
How much does a 3.2kg bag cover?
One 3.2kg bag covers approximately 80m2 at the recommended application rate.
Troubleshooting
Seeds are not germinating after several weeks.
Verify that temperatures have remained above 7°C and that the soil has not dried out completely; monitor moisture levels regularly during the germination phase.
Birds are still congregating on the seeded area.
Ensure the seeds have been raked into the soil surface to improve contact; the Aqua Gel coating is visible, but burying it slightly helps ground it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper site preparation is the foundation of a successful lawn. Ensure the soil is cleared of weeds and stones before application. Once sown, avoid walking on the treated area until the grass reaches a height of 5-8cm. When it is time for the first mow, ensure the mower blade is sharp and set to a high cut, removing only the tips of the grass blades. As the lawn matures, keep it healthy with occasional aeration and standard lawn feeding regimes to complement the initial fast-start growth.
