Miracle-Gro EverGreen Fast Grass Lawn Seed 480g

Product Information

Made up of a combination of Dwarf Perennial Ryegrass and finer Fescue grasses, this seed germinates faster than most but still remains hardwearing thanks to its ryegrass content. Staining: Do not walk on the lawn until the product has been watered in and has fully dried, since moss killer can cause stubborn brown stains on clothes, paving slabs, etc. Brush off immediately if accidentally spilt. What about children and pets? Browntop Bent isn’t as commonly found in hardwearing grass seed mixes, but it can make be included because it helps make lawns fine and soft. A small percentage of Browntop Bent, such as the 5% found in the GBW 1 kg Grass Seed, will add some finer, short grass to your lawn.

Q1: When can children and pets return to a lawn treated with Miracle-Gro® EverGreen® Complete 4 in 1? Raking the area, sowing the seeds, and then sieving on topsoil is all that is really required to encourage this Speedy Grass Lawn Seed to grow. It will need regular watering, but only enough to keep the seeds slightly damp – if the weather conditions are good, with some drizzle as well as sun, you may not even need to water that much all. A3: For best results and even greening we advise using one of our lawn spreaders, application can be done by hand but this does require measuring out each square metre and ensuring 35g is applied evenly over the area. In general, this seed doesn’t require quite as much maintenance after sowing as some other grass seeds; watering is still required, but you may not need to use as much water overall – only enough to keep the seeds moist. The high content of Strong Creeping Red Fescue means that even if you have a lot of shade in your garden, this grass seed won’t have a problem growing there. Whereas other grass species can’t cut it in the shadows, the Red Fescue in this grass seed will help create cushiony areas under the trees, perfect for sitting in and keeping cool during summer.Use our easy-to-use spreader settings table to set Scotts® and EverGreen® spreaders correctly when using our products. Any other advice? Choosing the right time to sow, anytime between March and October, can make all the difference; this is probably the most important part of preparation when it comes to these particular seeds.

Mowing: Avoid mowing the lawn 2-3 days before and after treatment. Do not use the first 4 mowings after treatment for mulching. They will be safe to use after being thoroughly composted for 6 months. When it comes to growing grass in shady gardens, be they north facing or shrouded by trees, the results can often be disappointing.

In these kinds of optimal conditions, the grass can be seen to germinate in around seven days, although it really does depend on the weather – if the temperatures drop, it can take as long as two weeks to notice germination, and if the soil temperature is below 9°C, there is a chance it won’t germinate at all. It’s a great feeling when your lawn is lush and green. Unfortunately, this feeling doesn’t always last as wear and tear can really tire out a lawn fast. Lawn preparation: Cut the lawn short at lowest mowing height, rake out dead grass and debris and gently loosen the top soil. A2: Use our easy-to-use spreader settings table to set Scotts® and EverGreen® spreaders correctly when using our products. A1: After applying this product in accordance with the label instructions keep children and pets away from treated areas until the granules have been watered in thoroughly and the area has dried.

It should be noted that we’re not talking about a cheap product here either, with this 1 kg bag costing around 1/3 of some 10 kg bags, but it’s still worth considering if you have the available budget simply due to the finish that can be achieved. If you have pets or children, the combination of grass species presented in this mix will also prevent the lawn from getting so worn out in the future. Using strong ryegrasses and Red Fescue is a way to reduce the necessity for repeated reseeding as well. As a result, it’s the best grass seed if you have dogs and pets that often wear out the grass. This 10 kg grass seedhas a 1:1 ratio of Dwarf Perennial Ryegrass and Strong Creeping Red Fescue, which provides a good balance of strength and comfort. It feels slightly softer than mixes that have a higher ryegrass content, creating a lawn which is more comfortable to sit or lie on, yet still remains hardwearing.A3: In ideal conditions when the soil is moist, grass will start to appear from 7-10 days. In less favourable conditions allow 10-14 days. If the soil is cooler germination will take longer. Application is straightforward, given that these seeds can be sown by hand straight out of the 10 kg bag. Depending on the state of your lawn, you might find that you need to use a lot of seed, especially if you have a larger garden; although GroundMaster states that one bag will cover an area of around 300 m², logically this will depend on how much your specific circumstances require. Prepare the lawn by mowing it short, raking out dead grass, moss and debris. Apply a lawn dressing such as Miracle-Gro EverGreen Lawn Dressing. Lawn seed is one of the easiest (or hardest if not applied correctly) ways to make your outdoor area feel like it’s brand new. With more of us spending time at home than ever before, patches, brown spots, and even weeds can prevent you from making the most of your green space. For general domestic use, I recommend going for a grass seed that contains various grass seed species. Look for a combination of Ryegrass, Fescue grasses, and Browntop Bent . This mixes durability, shade-hardiness and fine grass, providing a perfect balance.

Watering-in: If no rain falls within 2 days, water the lawn thoroughly so that the lawn food starts to work. Gently rake in and tread the seeds into the soil. Unless it rains, soak with a fine spray and keep soil moist for the next few weeks. If you buy the best grass seed available, you can create a more hardwearing lawn that won’t get easily damaged from children playing on it or pets wearing it out. Getting the right balance between hardwearing grass and a comfortable soft lawn isn’t easy; tough grass can be coarse, but softer grass easily wears out. It’s a pretty easy seed to use, not requiring too much attention except for the usual watering to make sure the area is kept damp. If there is heavy rain within the first few days after sowing, there could be a chance of some seeds getting swept away, so it’s fair to say that the weather can affect results significantly.

The first consideration is what you use your lawn for. Whilst a 100% Fescue mix makes an excellent ornamental lawn, it’s not really practical for a lived-in garden. For example, it shouldn’t be played on because it’s not hard wearing enough. A certain amount of patience and trust is required as well, as the seed can lie relatively dormant for quite some time. Watering day and night, for as long as 15 days, is needed to start noticing small shoots appearing. Create a criss-cross pattern by sowing half the seed from left to right and the rest from top to bottom. As we all know, the UK climate can be unpredictable at best and atrocious at worst. Certainly, it’s not always an easy environment for us gardeners to work in! It’s also not the best climate for all types of grass either, which is why seed mixes like GBW’s 1 kg Grass Seed use selected grass species tailored to thrive in the UK weather.
