removing any existing vegetation from the lawn and injecting new grass seed into it. The effect
is a considerably higher proportion of young and vital grass, resulting in a better looking lawn
with better resistance.

A. Preparatory function:
• Making seed grooves in the soil (depth between 0 and 30 mm)
• Collecting the dug up soil, moss, felt etc. and transferring it to a strip beside to t
B. Sowing function:
• Evenly scattering lawn seed.
• Cutting grooves and sowing the seeds with precision
• Recuperation and racking in the lawn seed
• Closing the grooves and tightening the soil around the seed with a back roller
