GardenersDream5KG Premium Hard Wearing Grass Seed - Fast Growing Grass Seeds for New Lawns & Patch Repair - Covers up to 300M2 for Overseeding

Q: Does anyone know if you need to sow the seed with a bit of soil on top to protect it from birds and should you also use a fertiliser?

I rake over the area I'm seeding prior to sowing. Then rake over once sown. I have found that the looser the soil the better the germination. I'm wary of fertiliser on new grass in case the fertiliser is to potent. The main thing is to keep the newly seeded area moist. Sowing new grass in October is risky best times to sow are when the risk of ground frost has gone. PS I'm not a gardener :-)

Q: What are the instructions please on how to use

Rake away any old grass and Moss then give the ground a good water, then sprinkle generously with the seed, then cover with a thin layer of fine compost such as John innes no.2... it is good as it is sandy and won't clump. Another quick water and you're done. Keep watering over the next few weeks, don't over water, just keep ground moist. Once grass sprouts, let it grow to about 3 inches then cut on highest setting to take the tips. Continue to do this to encourage growth from the base... do not cut too short as the roots are young and plant won't recover.

Q: How do you plant the seeds the best to grow the best to avoid the birds the best

I cleared the ground with a hoe, spread a minimum of 1 inch of new top soil, trampled the soil down evenly. Marked the first 5 square metres soil into 1 metre squares with bamboo canes. Spread the seeds as per the instructions.. Moved the canes to the next 5 square metres and continued spreading the seeds. When completed, I raked the seeds gently and spread more new top soil. I hammered in canes every few feet and tied strings across to discourage the birds. In spite of that, some of our feathered friends settled for a meal. Even tying bright polythene "flags" and tin foil did not deter them. I guess they fed on 30 to 40 % of the seeds. Each day I sprayed water gently over the area. After 3 weeks when the seeds started to germinate, I could see areas that were sparse, either where I did not spread the seeds evenly or where the birds had feasted most. In those areas, I spread the rest of the seeds left in the sack. Good growth after about 2 months. Walked gently on the new grass every 3 to 4 days and pulled out the weeds that were popping up. The ground being softish helped bring up the weed roots. Hope that helps.

Q: Hello, what is a sowing rate for this seed? How many square meters will a 5kg bag cover? I cannot see any info in the description. Many thanks!

Well, at the recommended sowing rate of 35 grams per square meter others have mentioned a 5 kilogram (5000 grams) bag will cover just under 145 square meters (5000/35=142.9).

Pretty good, and cheapest I’ve found

Was pretty good! After a spread of this stuff, I can see grass sprouting through after a few weeks! Easy to spread with the right tool, and the bag it comes in is robust.

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work. Came in a clear plastic bag not the same as advertised in photos. I don’t think this is the same seed as they’re advertising, it’s definitely not fast growing & doesn’t look like what they’re advertising. Been over 2 weeks since I put the grass seed down & nothing has happened. Waste of time & money. I definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone buy this
