- The surface is moist.
- Sow the seeds evenly, using the correct sowing rate to a depth of approximately 10mm.
- Ensure that the surface remains moist for at least 2 - 3 weeks.
- Make the first cut when the grass is 5 - 6cm tall and tillering has started.
Overseeding Guidance

- Danny Negus Courts Success with MM50 at Devonshire Park
I trialled Limagrain's MM50 last year throughout the three sites which consists of approximately 27 courts. We did this because I wanted to see the reaction of the seed on different conditions. There are a lot of micro climates around here and it enabled us to see how the seed responded in a tournament situation, and also from a club and a professional use.
The results I got back from the trials revealed to me that it was absolutely a no-brainer to continue to use MM50 across all three sites.

Mm50 grass seed
"I can’t comment on the product yet as the grass will not be sown until September when top dressing. But it is a July 2026 product and the bags are in great condition."
Ordered when I saw ideal
"Ordered when I saw ideal wet and warm spell to replace the 2025 summer drought that decimated my lawn, Delivered in 3 days so very good. Used a deep slitter to prepare the surface of the turf and got excellent germination from around 10 days after sowing. Always a nervous period waiting to see how good the germination will be and always seems to take ages to get going but this bag has been excellent, Very noticeable indeed how much quicker the germination was for those seeds that fell into the slits versus those in between. Obviously soil contact is a huge factor is speed of germination. After 3 weeks now the lawn looks very well covered in excellent growth and great colour."

MM50 Ripped bag!
"The bag came with a rip in it, which was disappointing. However we ordered more than we needed so it was OK, but a lot of the seed was in the box. Wouldn't stop me purchasing again as these things happen, seem a good company."

Q&A
- Do I need to add pre seed fertilizer when sowing this grass seed? Is there any benefit?
- Hi Colin Thank you for contacting Pitchcare. PreSeed fertilisers are high in phosphorus which promotes rooting. Pitchcare team
