If the ratio of moss to grass is 3/4 to 1/4 per m
2
, do the following:
• Treat the lawn two weeks in advance, preferably before rainfall, with anti-moss spray or a her-
bicide against broad-leafed weeds.
• Once moss and weeds have died and turned brown and dry, rake them off the lawn (prefer-
ably with a dethatching machine).
• Clean the lawn from the raked debris.
• Just before overseeding, cut the grass to a length of 2 cm at most.
If the proportion of grass to weeds or bare spots per m
2
is approximately 3/4, proceed as follows:
• Just before overseeding, cut the grass to a length of 2 cm at most.
If pro-active overseeding is the objective (e.g. on a healthy lawn that is rusty after prolonged
drought), or when the remainder of mulch has produced a felt layer on the lawn; or if the lawn
comprises a mono grass type culture with low resistance, do the following:
• Thoroughly dethatch the existing lawn and clean up the dry and old grass.
• Mow the lawn using the shortest mow setting so that it the height of the grass is 2 cm at most.
Once these preparations have been made, overseeding may start. It is recommended to choose
the sowing moment prior to a rainy period.
C. Choice of seed mix, depending on the soil, the use of the lawn and the climate.
In order to achieve a good result in your overseeding treatment, it is essential that the correct
gas mixture be chosen that suits the properties of the soil and the climate. Ask your seed special-
ist for advice.
D. Determining the treatment after overseeding to enhance germination.
After overseeding, it is best to use a top-dresser with compost across the lawn in order to cover
up grooves. Compost is also a perfect organic fertiliser that encourages germination of your
grass.
If you carried out overseeding during a wet period and the rain stopped just before you started
sowing, you must continue to irrigate the lawn copiously for at least 20 days.
If the overseeding was carried out during a dry period, you must provide the lawn with no extra
water.
For perfect grass, the lawn must be regularly aerated in order to improve root growth. Grass
must also be re-sown every one or two years.
