Directions for New Lawns:
- Soil is to be evenly graded, well drained and level.
- Lightly rake the area one way to create furrows, mix lawn seed with Munns Superstart Lawn Starter Fertiliser, broadcast evenly over the area and lightly rake in the opposite direction.
- Keep the top 1cm of soil moist at all times during germination using a fine mist spray.
Mowing your new lawn should take place at approx. 4 -5 weeks when seedlings are about 5 – 6cm high. Remove only 1cm from the tips. After 5 – 6 weeks fertilise your new lawn with Munns Golf Course Green Lawn Fertiliser.
The most common failure in raising a new lawn from seed is lack of moisture during the germination period. Munns have addressed this problem by mixing their unique Weta-Lawn with their seed.
Directions for over sow:
- Cut existing lawn down close.
- Mix seed with Munns Superstart Lawn Starter Fertiliser and broadcast evenly over the given area.
- Then lightly top dress with more than 1cm of sandy loam. This enables seed soil contact for better germination.
- Keep the top 1cm of soil moist at all times during germination using a fine mist spray.
