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 (1/2")
lower than you normally would.
• 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.
