Our know-how for your beautiful lawn
Congratulations on your purchase of a WOLF lawn mower. You have thereby chosen a machine built to the latest standards of technology
to provide you with perfect lawn care.
To ensure that you have great pleasure from your lawn, we have included several hints on sowing, refurbishment and care. The seed is
important!
A high quality seed is the basis for a beautiful lawn. We recommend two excellent products for sowing new lawns:
WOLF lawn seed >>Supra<<
This high-quality mixture of lawn seeds features an extremely
dense growth which doesn‘t give moss or weeds a chance. Another
advantage of >>Supra<< lawns: they grow as well in the shade as
in sunny spaces.
WOLF lawn seed >>Loretta<<
>>Loretta<< lawns are extremely rugged and durable and are particularly
suitable for heavily used areas. The rapid germination and regenerative
capacity guarantee a dense, hardy lawn in the shortest time.
A new lawn without digging over
Are you dissatisfied with your lawn but don‘t want to tackle the job
of sowing a completely new one? - No problem, we can show you
how to transform your lawn quickly and without extensive work into
the most beautiful lawn without digging over.
The lawn renewal system „Novaplant ® “ will quickly and easily
provide you with a beautiful, dense and durable lawn which will be

scarifier and WOLF Novaplant

Perfect lawn care
The following guidelines for lawn care show you how to keep the
lawn of your dreams beautiful for a long time.
Mowing:
Important for the density and durability of the lawn. We recommend
regular mowing once per week always at the same cutting height:
not lower than 3.4 cm, not higher then 5 cm, 5 cm is ideal in the
shade. If the lawn has grown higher than 8 cm, possibly in Spring
or after holidays, it is necessary to cut this back in stages.
Fertilising:
Provides the lawn with the necessary nutrients, keeps it healthy
and durable. We recommend 4 x fertilisations per season with a
special lawn fertiliser (please don‘t use general purpose types):
March: WOLF starter fertiliser for new lawns
May: WOLF lawn fertiliser >>Super<<
July: WOLF lawn fertiliser >>Super<<
September: WOLF Vital NK plus
Watering:
An absolute necessity in dry weather. We recommend root-deep
watering once to twice per week. The water should penetrate
approximately 10 cm into the soil (10 - 15 litres / m
2
). More water
is required under trees.
Scarifying:
Important to remove lawn moss and dead vegetation. At least once
per year in the early Spring (April/May). Then clear the removed
material completely from the lawn.
Combating weeds:
Removes undesired weeds from the lawn
Use WOLF weed killer plus lawn fertiliser as necessary
Best times: The middle of May to the beginning of September
Combating moss:
Removes moss from the lawn
Use WOLF moss killer plus lawn fertiliser as necessary
Best times: Spring and Autumn (see instructions)
For heavy moss growth: Remove moss with a scarifier and reseed
Foliage:
Deprives the lawn of light and encourages diseases - must be
removed from the lawn as quickly as possible.
Correct and regular care of the lawn is particularly important in the
shade. The constant deficiency of light weakens the grasses, blade
and root growth are retarded and diseases can spread quickly.
>>SUPRA<< is currently the best lawn for shady areas. Of course,
it also grows very well in sunny spots.
