How to use

Create a new lawn or fill in a bare patch

1. Rake

• Rake the area to remove all weeds, stones and dead grass.
• If over-seeding your existing lawn ensure you mow the grass short first.
• Turn the soil over to a depth of 15-22cm (6-9in).
• For best results, lightly cover the area with Miracle-Gro® Lawn Dressing. Level and firm by treading the soil.

2. Shake

• Shake box to re-mix seed.
• Apply 30g per metre squared for new lawns or bare patches.
• Use the handy sprinkler on the side of the pack to create a criss-cross pattern by sowing half the seed from left to right and the rest from top to bottom.
• Gently rake in, then tread or roll seed into the soil.

3. Water

• Unless it rains, soak with a fine spray and keep the soil moist for the next few weeks. For best results, keep your new lawn watered regularly.
• The grass can be trimmed when it is 5-8cm (2-3in).
• Each time you mow, lower blade height a level until its at 2.5cm (1in).
• Do not cut more than a ⅓ off the growth at any one point.
• Start feeding the lawn after 12 weeks to ensure its kept healthy. We recommend Miracle-Gro® Healthy Lawn.

How to overseed an existing lawn

• Prepare the lawn by mowing it short, raking out dead grass, moss and debris.
• Apply a lawn dressing, such as Miracle-Gro® Lawn Dressing.
• In dry conditions, moisten the lawn.
• Sprinkle a small handful of seed for each square meter (25g).
• Lightly rake the seed into the lawn.
