PLANTING RATE:
New Lawns: 10 lbs. / 1000 sq. ft.
Overseeding established lawns: 5 lbs. / 1000 sq. ft.
Plant 1/4 to 1/2" depth for best results in early spring or fall.

CARE:
Recommended Mowing height = 2"
Fertilize in fall and early spring with a balanced fertilizer.  Apply pre-emerge crabgrass preventer in early spring.  Weed and feed in mid spring.  Use lime if pH is low and water twice weekly when established.

NEW SEEDING:
Prepare the soil by tilling to a depth of 4-8 inches.  Conduct a soil analysis test and make sure the pH and proper nutrients are available.  If you cannot obtain a soil test, apply lime and a complete lawn fertilizer at package recommended rates. Spread and work lime and fertilizer evenly into the soil.  Rake smooth the soil to to provide a good seed bed for germination to occur.  Rake, drag, or otherwise work the seed into the soil to a depth of 1/4" to 1/2".   Keep the area well watered (moist soil) until the seed germinate and the seedlings have grown large enough to establish a lawn, then water normally as required.

OVERSEEDING:
Before overseeding, it is important to prepare the soil.  Conduct a soil test to see if your pH and other soil nutrients are adequate.  Fertilizer and lime if needed.  Mow or clip the existing grass as closely as possible.  Remove the clipping and rake, harrow lightly or aerate the soil of your existing lawn. This will allow the seed to make soil contact when sown.  Sow the seed and gently rake to  provide soil cover over the seed.  Keep the lawn soil moist until the seeds have germinated.  Then water as needed.
