Description
MM Universal Sport Grass Seed
The high proportion of Perennial Rye-grass in this seed mixture ensures fast germination and a sward which is hard wearing. The addition of Strong Creeping Red Fescue to the mix increases the denseness of the sward due to its greeping growth habit. The cultivars used have excellent disease resistance and recover quickly following damage. This mix has a high wear tolerance and produces an excellent playing surface in a stadium environment.

- Stones & weeds are removed.
- There is sufficient drainage.
- The surface is level and firm.
- The surface is moist.
- Sow the seeds evenly, using the correct sowing rate to a depth of approximately 10 mm.
- Ensure that the surface remains moist for at least 2 - 3 weeks.
- Make the first cut when the grass is 5 - 6 cm tall and tillering has started.
Overseeding Guidance
- Prepare the existing turf by removing excess thatch and limiting irrigation and fertilisation.
- Apply using the correct overseeding rate.
- For best results use a disc seeder or a studded seed roller.
