Usage Guide

Sowing PERFORM: Cricket Squares & Wickets

● Dig the soil over to a depth of 20-25cm
● Remove weeds or moss by hand or use a Feed, Weed and Moss Killer
● Add top soil if you believe the soil to be poor quality or unlevel
● Then level the seedbed using a rake
● Allow the seedbed to cultivate for 10-14 days. This is to encourage any existing weeds to come to the surface, which can then be removed by hand
● Sow the seed at our recommended rate of 35g per m2, by using a seed spreader or scatter the seeds by hand
● Rake the seed after sowing so that the seed is embedded into the soil
● Firm down by foot or by using a roller to improve seed-to-soil contact
● Water the newly seeded area after sowing
