This general sportsfield turf mixture will produce a hardy dense and compact turf for school or college grounds, community playing fields or any other designated sportsfield areas requiring a multi purpose grass surface suitable for most summer or winter competitive ball games.
The resulting turf will be relatively fast to establish, offer good resistance to drought or prolong periods of wet weather and recover well from light damage during the growing season
For quicker and more uniformed establishment sow at the higher rate. Allow the new seedlings to establish to a height of approximately 75mm before initially cutting to 50mm. This helps promote tillering of the amenity ryegrass. Thereafter reduce with each mowing until the desired height is obtained.
Sow at 35 grams per sq/m for new areas or 20 grams per sq/m for overseeding an existing turf
SOWING RATE
Between 20 and 35 grams per square metre
BEST SOWING TIMES
March to October
COVERAGE
20.00 kg covers 600 to 1’000 square metres
SOWING INSTRUCTIONS
- Produce a firm, weed free seedbed clear of large stones and any other debris.
- Rake or harrow over the surface to create a thin layer of fine soil (tilth) approximately 10-20mm deep.
- Split the total quantity of amenity grass seed to be applied into two equal amounts.
- Apply the first half over the entire area either by hand or by using a broadcast spreader.
- Gently work most of the applied seeds into the tilth with a firm rake or harrow.
- Apply the remaining seed in the same way and again, rake or harrow most of them into the tilth.
- Finally, use a light to medium weight flat roller to squeeze the seeds and tilth down into the seedbed.This method ensures the amenity grass seeds are evenly spread, set at different depths and in good contact with the soil. All of which helps to anchor the seeds in position so as not to float away during heavy or persistant rainfall and to retain the correct moisture level for quicker germination.
- Amenity grass seed may also be surface sown however, germination may be uneven and significantly slower particularly during periods of prolonged sunny, dry or windy weather even with regular irrigation.
