principle, you should reseed more frequently and therefore work less aggressively and reduce the
seed quantity.
Reseeding can be performed in the spring as soon as the soil has warmed up a little. The soil must
have good trafficability, i.e. the seed should not be "smeared in".
Reseeding in the spring has the advantage that the spring humidity and the disturbed soil can be
used as a seedbed. However, despite good germination, the grass can dry out during a summer
drought, and the pressure of the old sod is greater in the spring due to the stronger growth spurt.
With the GK 400 M1, we counteract this disadvantage with a roller that presses down the seed and
therefore improves soil contact. This allows the seed to germinate more rapidly and the risk of
desiccation is reduced.
The optimal strength and depth setting, forward speed and the adjustment of the tines and seeding
rate must be set with your understanding of the correlations between the soil properties and weather
conditions, which can vary greatly in different regions.
