Cool Season: Soil Preparation
Before planting, soil should be moistened to a depth of 15cm. Dig the area over thoroughly, to a depth of at least 15cm. The area must be leveled carefully as it is very difficult to correct levels after the grass has been laid. Apply 4:3:4 (36) (or a similar fertilizer) at a rate of 5kg / 100m² and rake into the top 2cm of the soil.
Warm Season: When to Establish
- Instant Lawn: All year round
- Spriggs: Preferably do not sprigg in winter months on the Highveld
- Instant Lawn: All year round
Cool Season: Watering Maintenance for Establishment Phase
When establishing Cool Season Grasses, the following watering programme is recommended. Warm months, 4 times a day (6am, 9am, 11am, 2pm). In cool months, 2 times a day, early morning and midday. NB: Do not water later than 2pm so that the grass can dry off before night falls. Although adequate watering is very important, over watering and “puddling” must be avoided. Different types of soil must be taken into consideration.
Cool Season: When to Mow
As soon as the sod is firmly secured to the ground, mowing can begin by removing no more than 1/2 of the leaf length. For further information on mowing heights, please refer to the maintenance section.
