Recommended period for establishing a lawn from Turf Seed Special Twój Ogród:

Establishing a lawn from Turf Seed Special Twój Ogród seed mix:

By following the described guidelines, you will ensure full success and satisfaction with your lawn.

1. Clear the area of stones, leaves, twigs, plants and any rubbish. The soil acidity for grasses should be in the pH range of 5.5-7.0. If the pH is acidic, apply granular lime “Twój Ogród” to raise the soil pH.
IMPORTANT! If you plan to install underground irrigation, electrical or drainage systems, do this at this stage.

2. Dig the soil to spade depth, turning it over thoroughly; if the soil is poor, spread a layer of compost before digging. Level and shape the area, which should be flat; a 1-3% slope is acceptable to facilitate surface water runoff.
IMPORTANT! Finish the lawn edges now, as it is easiest to place them in the ground at this stage.

3. Level the area with a rake. The area for sowing grass should have no holes or bumps that would hinder later mowing. Firm the soil by treading several times or rolling the surface. Remove visible weeds.
IMPORTANT! If you plan to sow grass earlier than the sowing day, eliminate weeds chemically using the Clover preparation from the “YOUR garden” brand.

4. Just before sowing, lightly loosen the growing medium with a rake, avoiding creating unevenness. This will create better conditions for seed sowing. Sow the grass on the prepared growing medium (mix the seeds to obtain a uniform blend), perform the operation in calm weather. After sowing, cover the seeds with a 1 cm layer of native soil or ready universal growing medium “YOUR garden” RUP! Firm or roll the covered seeds.
IMPORTANT! The best results come from specialist mixes designed for specific areas and intended use.

5. Water the freshly sown grass seeds carefully to avoid washing them away. Initially, water the area lightly several times a day, avoiding prolonged waterlogging.
IMPORTANT! Maintain moisture in the upper layer of the growing medium continuously. The species in the mix have different germination times ranging from 7 to 28 days.

6. Perform the first mowing when the blades reach 8-12 cm in height. Mow to a height of 5-6 cm.
IMPORTANT! Make the first mowings gently, using sharp mower blades to avoid pulling out young, weakly rooted plants.

Lawn mowing depending on air temperature:

• when the temperature is up to 25°C, mow the lawn to 4cm height,
• when the temperature is between 25-30°C, mow the lawn to 6cm height,
• when the temperature exceeds 30°C, do not mow the lawn.

Conditions affecting grass colour:

The lawn should be established on soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5. Too low a pH below 5.5 hinders grass nutrient uptake, tillering and root system development, which affects the appearance and condition of the turf. If the growing medium is too acidic, the lawn loses its intense colour and begins to yellow, grows poorly and becomes sparse.

The fertilisation process affects grass colour. Regular feeding with appropriate fertiliser promotes intense colouring. The quality of water, its source and biochemical composition are also important.
