Product Guide: Sports and Play Turf
Application steps for the Sports and Play Lawn
Suitable for new lawns
The Sports and Play Lawn is particularly robust and hard-wearing. To help it develop optimally, follow these steps when sowing a new lawn:
Soil preparation
Remove weeds, branches, stones and any other debris
Loosen the soil
If needed, mix lawn soil with a little turbogrün Organic Lawn Fertiliser and spread it
Afterwards, the soil should be firm enough to walk on, but not compacted
Sowing the lawn seed
Spread the seed directly from the pack or using a spreader
Sow evenly, once lengthways and once crossways
Application rate: 20 g/m²
Then press the seed down lightly so it has good contact with the soil
Our tip: Use the Turbostreuer spreader on setting 5
Optional: Lay the lawn fleece
After sowing, you can cover the freshly sown area with the turbogrün lawn fleece.
Protects the seed from birds and other animals
Keeps moisture and warmth in the soil for longer
Prevents the seedbed from drying out too quickly
Important: Even with the lawn fleece, the seed must be kept constantly moist during germination. The fleece reduces evaporation, but it does not replace watering.
Watering
Keep the area constantly moist for approx. 4 weeks
In dry weather, water briefly several times a day
When using the lawn fleece, check the soil moisture regularly and water as needed
Avoid waterlogging
First mowing
Mow for the first time when the grass is 7–8 cm tall
Cut it back to approx. 5–6 cm
Only mow with sharp blades
Then gradually reduce the cutting height
