+IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Always sow grass seed at a soil temperature above 10 degrees Celsius and below 25 degrees Celsius
• Spring and autumn are the ideal seasons for scarifying your lawn
• The products in this kit are not intended for simultaneous use. Please follow the suggested timeline:
  • Spread Iron Sulphate two weeks before scarifying — it takes this long to kill the moss. Wait until the moss has turned black before scarifying. 
  • Immediately after scarifying, apply Sports & Fun grass seed and Spring Boost Lawn Fertiliser — these can be applied simultaneously.

Step 1: Spreading Iron Sulphate

1. Remove fallen leaves and organic debris from your lawn surface. Then, mow your grass to a maximum of 5 cm. 
2. Wait for a dry, windless day before applying Iron Sulphate. Then, divide your packet of Iron Sulphate into two equal parts. Sprinkle the first part lengthwise and the second part widthwise over your lawn.
3. Wipe away any product that has drifted onto paved surfaces to prevent staining.
4. Water your lawn lightly to activate the Iron Sulphate. This is not necessary if rain is forecast. Two weeks later, the moss will have turned black, and it’s time to scarify.

Step 2: Scarifying the lawn

1. Scarify your lawn using a scarifying rake or machine. This removes weeds, moss, and other organic material that could be suffocating your lawn. Read our scarification guides
2. Sow new grass seed immediately after scarifying. 

Step 3: Fertilising lawn and re-seeding grass seed

1. If you’re not scarifying, remove leaves, twigs, and stones, then cut your grass no shorter than 5cm.
2. Divide MOOWY’s Sports & Fun grass seed into two equal parts. Sprinkle one part horizontally and the other vertically over your lawn. This ensures the grass seed is evenly distributed. Sprinkle a little more grass seed on bare spots,
3. Divide Spring Boost Lawn Fertiliser into two equal parts. Sprinkle one part horizontally and the other vertically over the lawn. 
4. Rake the grass seeds and fertiliser lightly to create better soil contact, then press down well using a garden roller or with your feet. This helps prevent the grass seed from moving. This step is crucial to the germination process.
5. Water immediately after pressing and ensure the seeds and soil remain moist for at least two weeks. For optimal results, water lightly 3-to-4 times daily. Avoid walking on the lawn until the first cut.
6. Your seeds will have germinated within three weeks. Now, mow your new grass. 

Step 4: Neutralising soil acidity: sprinkle Lawn Lime to correct the PH value

1. Wait until the first mowing after scarifying before applying Lawn Lime. This neutralises your soil’s acidity, which discourages weeds. Don’t cut the grass shorter than 5 cm the first time. 
2. Divide Lime Plus into two equal parts. Sprinkle the first part lengthwise and the second part widthwise over the lawn. This ensures that the lime is well distributed.
3. You can walk on your lawn immediately after application.
