Areas left bare through wear and weeding can be reseeded as follows:

Preparation
Loosen the surface of the soil by firmly raking it 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 the soil surface is fine.
If possible, leave the area for a week or two. Level any uneven areas and remove any weeds that appear.

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

Lawncare
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 to 8cm high.
The first cut can be made at this stage, removing no more than one third of the growth.

When to sow: March to October. Autumn sowing usually gives the best results when the soil is moist and warm.

All of the varieties in this lawn seed blend are tested and listed by the STRI, the only independent UK organisation for the testing and evaluation of lawn grasses.
