9.3 Preparation of the work area
Overseeding is a cheap and effective way of rejuvenating your lawn. The DZC 600 is a precision
overseeder that can bring the seed in optimum growth circumstances under a minimum loss of
seed. Some preparation of the terrain is required in order to guarantee an optimum result and
enhance growth possibility.
Efficient restoration of the lawn requires the following preparations:
A. Preparing the terrain
B. Examine the state of the grass and the soil.
C. Choice of seed mix, depending on the soil, the use of the lawn and the climate.
D. Determining the treatment after overseeding to enhance germination.
A. Preparing the terrain :
• As indicated in § “9.2 Characteristics of the work area” on page 21 aangegeven wordt,
the terrain must be free from foreign objects. If this is not the case, then all objects that might
otherwise hinder smooth operation must be removed (stones, branches, rope, steel wire,
electrical lines, water hoses, parasol base, pickets, lawn furniture, etc.)
• If certain obstacles cannot be removed, then they should be visibly marked (tree roots, water
drain covers, gas lines, sprinkler systems, power outlets, lawn lighting).
• Also pay attention to any low voltage wires marking the terrain of robotic lawn mowers, elec-
tric dog fencing, etc.
• Large stones in the ground must be removed to avoid damage to the blades.
• If the lawn is very uneven in places (height differences in excess of 20 mm), it is recommended
to roll the lawn several times, preferably following rainy weather. Fill any deep pits with soil.
(Lawn aeration (to approx. 60 mm) can be required after overseeding to prevent the upper soil
layer from suffocating.)
For your information:
The operable terrain must be checked prior to operation in order to detect any
possible problems in advance. (Read “9.6.2
Planning and determining the
track and the work pattern.” on page 32).
B. Examine the state of the grass.
Look at the current vegetation of your lawn: I there a lot of moss or other weeds
growing? What is the grass proportion in the lawn? Does it contain several grass varieties? Are
there dense grass patches, or just a few worn grass stalks? …
