Tips & Advice
For a successful grass establishment, basic fertilization is very important. For sandy soil we recommend NPK 11-5-18, 10kg/100 sq.m. and for topsoil 5kg/100 sq.m. After the grass is established, you should fertilize at least 3 times/year with e.g. NPK 20-3-9 or NPK 15-2-5 +10Fe. Irrigation is also important, we recommend approx. 30 min/watering point, 2 – 3 times/day, water the first 8 days after sowing.
Contents & properties
90% Red fescue (Festuca rubra). One of the most important grass species for lawn establishment. For lawns, specially refined varieties of red fescue are used, developed to achieve, among other things, lower growth in height. Red fescue tolerates sun, heat, cold and drought well and thus thrives well throughout Sweden. Of the 90%, the majority is tightly tufted red fescue, which provides extreme winter hardiness and has the highest shoot density (780 shoots/dm2). A small amount of red fescue with short spurs is in the mix to keep the grass green longer in drought and provide a good healing ability.
10% Sheep fescue (Festuca ovina). Is a plant species in the grass family, also used as a joint grass in rock settings. Sheep fescue is extremely drought-resistant, low-growing and grows well even on light sand/gravel soils and on soils with lean conditions.
