Product description:Smart Green is the ideal seed-fertiliser mixture for the new planting and revitalisation of resilient sports, play and ornamental lawns - in both sunny and shady locations. The selection of particularly robust, durable lawn grass varieties in a unique protective cover, combined with the right amount of starter fertiliser, leads quickly and reliably to a dense lawn with lush greenery in a single operation. Smart Green is also ideal for closing gaps in the lawn as well as for denser green of thinned lawns (revitalisation). Application:for: Lawns of all kinds, for new planting, closing of lawn gaps and revitalisationProperties:Mixture of robust and long-lasting varieties Guaranteed germination by retaining moisture with the help of the Aqua-Gel protective cover The seed covers improve contact with the ground Colouring ensures good recognition of the seeds and reduces bird damage Suitable for sports, play and ornamental areas as well as sunny and shady areas Ideal for new plants and for the Revitalization of existing lawns Suitable for all soilsInstructions for use:Sowing can be done throughout the season between April and October. The rainier weeks in spring between April and May or in early autumn from mid-September to mid-October are best suited. It should be noted that optimal germination is only possible from a permanent soil temperature above 10 degrees. Extreme shade is generally unsuitable for lawns.1. PreparationTo plant a new lawn, loosen the soil thoroughly, remove coarse stones, moss and weeds and use a rake to ensure that the surface is as finely crumbled as possible. Compensate for holes and other unevenness. In case of drought, water the soil thoroughly the day before sowing. However, waterlogging must be avoided. If thinned lawns are to be provided with denser greenery, no thorough soil cultivation is necessary. It is sufficient to mow the lawn briefly and scarify it slightly.2. SowingTo ensure a good distribution of the seeds and fertilisers of different sizes, shake the contents well before use. Sprinkle the seed-fertiliser mixture evenly. For a seamless transition to any existing lawn, spread the seeds slightly over the newly planted area. For the new lawn plant, spread Smart Green evenly after soil preparation (application rate: 25 g/m²). For optimal germination, good contact with the ground is important, so first carefully rake Smart Green flat (no deeper than 1cm) into the soil. Lightly roll or tread on the sprinkled surfaces. For denser green of thinned lawns: After scarifying slightly, simply sow Smart Green between the existing grasses. Application rate: 20 g/m². Lightly roll or tread on the sprinkled surfaces. You can find the appropriate setting for the use of a spreader in the instructions for use of the device.Watering: Very important Then water the areas carefully but extensively with a fine spray or sprinkler. Make sure that the lawn seeds are not washed away. Never let it dry out in the following weeks. If this does happen, the water stored in the Aqua-Gel can compensate for the deficit for a certain period of time (depending on the weather and soil conditions). Mowing: Freshly raised lawns should only be mowed from a height of approx. 8 cm to approx. 5 - 6 cm, later to 3 - 5 cm. During summer heat and dry periods, the lawn should also not be shortened too much. Fertilization: The starter fertilizer contained in Smart Green is effective for about 5 weeks, depending on the weather. 2 - 3 days after the two
