Steps for Sowing Grass

1. Plough the soil or dig it up (around 25 cm), remove weeds, and level the ground. If desired, apply soil enhancers before sowing.
2. First sow the outer edges with Sports Lawn Seed – Resilient.
3. Then sow diagonally, once lengthways and once widthways, across the entire area with Sports Lawn Seed – Resilient.
4. Rake the grass seed lightly into the soil (0.5-1 cm).
5. Walk over or roll the grass seed to compact it.
6. Gently water with a fine spray if it doesn’t rain within 24 hours of sowing.
7. Once the grass reaches a height of about 10cm, it's time for the first mowing. Don't cut the grass too short straight away, instead mow it slightly shorter each week until it's about 3-4cm tall.
8. Fertilise the lawn for the first time a week after emergence with Lawn Feed All-In-One and fertilise subsequently three times a year (in spring/summer/autumn).

Sowing Period

From March to November

Late summer (mid-August – September) is an excellent time to sow grass. The soil retains the summer's warmth for a while. Weed pressure is also lower at this time than in spring. This warmth, combined with ample moisture, creates ideal conditions for grass seed germination. Grass sowing can often start once the hottest and driest part of the summer has passed, usually in September, but sometimes in October.

Spring is also a good time to sow grass, though slightly less ideal than early autumn. This is due to the soil temperature. The often bitterly cold winter and chilly nights make germination challenging for the seeds, allowing birds to easily snatch them. Also, a lot of weeds tend to sprout during this period. It's quite challenging to remove weeds that have rooted in your lawn. If you still wish to sow in spring, it's best to wait until the ground has sufficiently warmed up (10°C, from April to the end of June).
