What should be considered when selecting lawn seed?

Make sure that you buy RSM mixtures. "RSM" means "standard seed mixture" and includes a certification. These mixtures are divided into quality levels from 1 to 9;

RSM-certified turf mixtures of grade 8-9 grow longer and have the most vital grasses approved by the research institutes. They are perfect for ornamental, sports and play lawns.

It really pays to invest in quality here. Mixtures from DIY stores or discounters often correspond to a grade 1-4. The joy of a price saving is quickly clouded by lower quality grasses as well as additional effort and costs because more seed is required;

Similar problems arise if, in order to save money, you opt for a mixture that is actually intended as fodder grass for grazing animals. Although the lawn initially becomes green and dense very quickly, just one year later it no longer looks as attractive. This is because these types of grass grow very quickly, but do not tolerate short cutting and regular mowing well. The lawn looks shaggy, and in summer gaps appear in which weeds can establish themselves.
