The fertiliser produces rapid germination and uniform growth. The biodegradable fabric prevents the seeds from washing away making it cheaper, easier and lighter than the traditional version. Once planted, water frequently with a sprinkler or hose. DO NOT apply a forceful jet of water to SeedRoll. Each of these factors will tell you exactly what type of grass seed to buy. To make it easier on you, there are some grass seed mats that come with “all-purpose” grass, which is grass that can grow in just about any climate or condition. How Much Watering is Required? It is a natural product made purely from cellulose fibre, which totally biodegrades over 4 to 5 months (depending on the environment) with any residue enhancing the soil. Unlike previous seed blankets no undesirable plastic retain nets are used, so there is no threat of ensnaring wildlife or fouling maintenance equipment. Bluegrass, as the name implies, has a bluish-green color when established, and it is a soft, fine-bladed lawn that withstands cold and foot traffic.

By using GrassMat™ Supreme, the work needed for the sowing of new lawns is remarkably reduced and the results far better than traditional methods. Kindly note, as with all seeded areas, it's important that GrassMat™ Supreme is regularly irrigated and kept moist until vegetation has established. With regards to residential application, spray on grass seed is not recommended for areas smaller than 0.5 acres, owing to the costs of setting up the equipment. But on a brighter note, there is little or no other investment needed to hydroseed a large area once the machine is set up.The Hydro Mousse liquid lawn care system is a great solution for people facing lawn issues such as dry spots, dog spots, and high-traffic areas. This kit can cover up to 500 square feet for overseeding or 165 square feet for new lawns, and can be attached to any garden hose. Quality – a hydroseeded lawn is much healthier and long-lasting than a grass-seeded turf. Seeds from hydroseeding applications also hold moisture better than hand seeding techniques, therefore are able to develop deeper roots.

As a very rough guideline. cool-season grasses like bluegrass and fescue grow to heights between 2.5 inches and 4 inches if left unmowed, while warm-season grasses like Bermudagrass and zoysia will grow to lengths of 1 to 3 inches. Grass seed can be expensive, especially if you need to cover a large stretch of ground. This blend of tall fescue is fairly reasonably priced, and a 7-pound bag will cover up to 1,750 square feet when used to overseed an existing lawn. Vigoro does not state the coverage for a new lawn, but as a rough guideline, this amount of fescue seed should cover up to 1,000 square feet of bare soil.

A screened compost layer will allow more air to pass through the compost layer, providing the seeds with sunlight and oxygen for rapid germination. Keep in mind, however, that all types of grass require at least a couple of hours of sun each day; there is no type of grass that will survive a very heavily shaded area that doesn’t receive some sun for at least two hours each day. We especially like Pennington One Step Complete for lawns that don't receive much sun.
