Sowing Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Area
Remove weeds, rocks and debris. Loosen the top 50–100mm of soil and level the surface.
Step 2 – Improve Your Results
For best results, apply Midwest Groundwork Starter Fertiliser before sowing.
Step 3 – Sow the Seed
Spread the seed evenly over the prepared area.
Recommended application rates
New Lawns
20–30g per m²
Overseeding & Repairs
10–15g per m²
Lightly rake the seed into the soil or cover with a thin layer of quality lawn underlay or compost.
Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist during germination.
- Water lightly 2–4 times daily.
- Do not allow the seed to dry out.
- Reduce watering frequency once the lawn is established.
Germination
Perennial Ryegrass
Approximately 7–10 days under suitable conditions.
Couch Grass
Approximately 14–28 days, depending on soil temperature.
Because Homestead Blend contains both cool-season and warm-season turf varieties, you’ll normally see the ryegrass establish first while the couch develops and spreads as temperatures increase.
First Mow
Mow when the lawn reaches approximately 70–90mm.
Never remove more than one-third of the leaf blade during any single mow.
Ongoing Lawn Care
For best results:
- Apply Midwest Launch Lawn Fertiliser every 8–12 weeks during the growing season.
- Use Midwest Soil Wetter where soils become water repellent or dry.
- Water deeply and less frequently once the lawn is established.
