FAQs
How much water does the Aqua Gel hold?
The technology allows the seed coating to absorb up to 400 times its own weight in water.
Can I use this for a brand-new lawn?
Yes, it is designed for both overseeding existing lawns and creating new ones, provided you use the correct application rate.
How often should I water the lawn?
You should water the area daily during dry spells until the grass is fully established.
Is the coating toxic to birds or pets?
The coating is a natural deterrent meant to discourage birds from feeding, but it is not intended for consumption.
What is the recommended application rate for patching?
You should apply the seed at a rate of 25g per square metre for overseeding or repair projects.
Does it work in the shade?
Yes, this specific blend is formulated to be highly adaptable and thrives in deep shade as well as sunny spots.
Troubleshooting
Seeds are not germinating
Ensure the soil remains consistently moist and that the seeds had direct contact with the soil during the initial sowing process.
Birds are still eating the seeds
Ensure the seeds are lightly raked into the top soil layer; while the color acts as a deterrent, physical coverage provides the best protection.
Patchy growth pattern
This is often caused by uneven spreading. Use the visible Aqua Gel coating to ensure uniform distribution across the entire patch next time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Clear the target area of all weeds and large stones. Use a rake to loosen the top layer of soil, ensuring the surface is level.
- Application: For new lawns, spread at 35g/m2; for patching, use 25g/m2.
- Incorporation: Lightly rake the surface again to ensure the seeds are integrated into the soil.
- Maintenance: Water daily during the first few weeks, especially if there is no natural rainfall. Avoid walking on the area until the new grass is well-established.
- Storage: Keep the box in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the Aqua Gel coating.
