Questions & Answers

Product Questions

Is there anything to gain or anything wrong with putting more seed down than is recommended?

Question by: Martyn on 13 Apr 2018 21:56:00

Adding too can cause too much can cause competition amongst the new grass and it is also less economical however it really depends how much more you add!

Answer by: Chris McIlroy (Admin) on 17 Apr 2018 15:36:00

What percentage of the seeds are weeds?

Question by: Daniel on 17 Apr 2019 15:30:00

Hi Daniel, none of our grass seed mixtures contain weeds. That would be very counterproductive! Our grass seed mixtures contain 100% natural grass seed.

Answer by: Anna Crockard (Admin) on 17 Apr 2019 15:44:00

Is this seed ok to use to fill in bare patches on my lawns

Question by: Ron todd on 17 Jun 2019 17:01:00

Hi Ron,
This is a great mix for filling in patches - it is fast to grow and is also hardwearing if your lawn gets a lot of traffic.

hello, what is the germination time of the back lawn? I have a few bare spots from where I reseeded with shade fast and though this would work well together .

thanks
Richard

Question by: richard on 3 Jul 2019 09:30:00

Hi Richard, you should see good growth within ten days as the high perennial ryegrass content in the mix makes it fast growing.

Answer by: Anna Crockard (Admin) on 3 Jul 2019 11:30:00

Is this grass seed safe to use with dogs? I know some grass seeds say to keep pets away for so many hours after spreading!

Question by: Amy bennett on 18 Feb 2017 10:00:00

Our grass seeds are not toxic to pets so it should all be fine.

Is there a shelf life for a bag of seed?

Question by: Mark on 17 Sep 2017 19:06:00

Yes, over time grass seeds quality degrades, we regularity test our seed to make sure it is at the highest quality. If you are talking about a few months you should be fine but years it would not.
I hope this helps.

Hi, i am currently in the process of preparing my soil for a seed (i bought a new build and the garden is/was a mess) hopefully i will have this process sorted by mid - August.

if i do manage to get the soil sorted by mid August, should i spray a weed killer down, leave it 2/3 weeks and seed in September?

thanks

Question by: Peter Campbell on 1 Aug 2019 10:25:00

Hi Peter,
It sounds like you know what you're doing! Yes - applying the weedkiller weeks before seeding will kill off the existing weeds and is ideal for sowing a new lawn. Sowing in September / October is also a good idea for a number of reasons: https://thegrasspeople.com/six-reasons-sow-autumn.

Having problems with squirrels digging up lawn. Need to re-sow parts of lawn and also deter them from coming back. Any recommendations

-1

Question by: Brian Flutter on 27 Aug 2017 10:02:00

You will need to use some type of chicken wire or small wire to fence off areas to help deter them not necessarily keep them off.

Also there are some products on the market ie Scent Off which may prove beneficial to treat the area as it gives out a smell to animals.

WHEN OVERSEEDING DO I NEED TO COVER SEEDS ?

-1

Question by: RONALD MASKELL on 16 Aug 2019 18:07:00

Ideally, the seed should be about one centimetre below the surface of the soil to ensure optimal growing conditions, but using a net mesh can help protect an overseeded area from birds.

Hi just wondering if there is any special way to use these seeds!
