    How To Repair Patches In A Lawn

    Preparation

    Areas left bald through wear or weeding can be re-seeded as follows.

    • Loosen the surface of the soil by firmly raking in a criss-cross pattern.
    • Remove any surface stones and weeds.
    • Firm and level the surface by close treading over the whole area, then rake until soil surface is fine.
    • If possible, leave the area for a week or two. Level any uneven areas and remove any weeds that apear.

    Sowing

    • Shake the box before sowing. Sow half the seed along the area and half the seed across the area to give an even coverage.
    • Sow at a rate of 35g per 1m².
    • Lightly rake in the seed. If no rain falls within 1 week, water thoroughly with a fine spray.
    • Keep moist until well established. Young grass will apear in 14-21 days.
    • Weeds may appear from the soil. These will be killed off with mowing.

    General Lawn Care

    • If the weather is dry keep the soil moist with regular watering using a fine spray.
    • Keep off the lawn until the grass is 5-8cm tall.
    • The first cut can be made at this stage, removing no more than one third of the growth.
