SHADY MIX
Shady Mix works best in the shady areas. It has deep rooting varieties, it has enhanced drought tolerance and it covers up to 2400 sq ft.
PREPARATION
For a new lawn, till soil to a depth of 6-8 inches. Remove all rocks and
foreign matter, then apply an all-purpose fertilizer. Rake or roll
seedbed until the surface is smooth and firm. To overseed an established
lawn, simply mow grass very low, then rake out thatch.
SOWING
Broadcast half of the seed evenly over the entire seedbed, sowing in one
direction. Spread the other half evenly at a right angle to your first
path. For best results, remix contents before spreading.
RAKE AND COVER
Seed will germinate best when covered lightly with soil, no more than
1/8 inch. Rake lightly or roll to achieve this. For better moisture
retention, apply a light mulch over seedbed.
WATERING
Keep the top layer of soil moist with fine mist until the grass is
established. Avoid traffic in the lawn until the first mowing in
approximately 3 to 6 weeks. This will ensure a better root system.
