Materials Needed

• Johnson’s General Purpose Lawn Seed 425g
• Rake
• Watering can or garden hose
• Garden fork (optional)
• Topsoil or compost (optional)

Preparation

1. Choose the Right Time: The best time to sow lawn seed is during the early spring or early autumn when the soil is moist and warm.
2. Prepare the Soil:
   • Clear the area of any debris, stones, or weeds.
   • Use a garden fork to loosen the top 2-3 inches of soil for better seed-to-soil contact.
   • Rake the soil to create a level surface.
3. Optional: Mix in some topsoil or compost to improve soil quality and drainage.

Sowing the Seed

1. Measure the Area: Calculate the area you wish to seed to ensure you use the correct amount of lawn seed.
2. Spread the Seed:
   • Evenly distribute the seeds over the prepared soil. You can do this by hand or use a seed spreader for larger areas.
3. Rake Gently: Lightly rake the area to cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, improving germination chances.

Watering and Aftercare

1. Water the Area: Use a watering can or garden hose with a gentle spray to thoroughly water the seeded area. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
2. Monitor Growth: Seeds typically begin to germinate within 7-14 days. Continue to keep the area moist during this period.
3. Mow the Lawn: Once the grass reaches about 2-3 inches in height, you can begin mowing. Mow regularly, but avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass height at once.

Maintenance

• Water your lawn as needed, especially in dry periods.
• Fertilize your lawn every 6-8 weeks during the growing season for best results.
• Keep an eye out for weeds and remove them promptly to maintain a healthy lawn.

By following these steps, you can effectively use Johnson’s General Purpose Lawn Seed to grow a lush and healthy lawn.
