Overseeding is the process of applying grass seed to an already established lawn which is exhibiting thin and bare patches. It can also be used to enhance your lawn.

How to
We supply this product in 0.9kg tubs which gives 60m² coverage.
The recommended sowing rate for over seeding is 15g per square metre. To overseed a small area this can be done by hand scattering and using a spring bock rake to ensure it is spread. You just need to measure the area required for overseeding and calculate the amount required.
