Robbie,
be aware that although there are always guidelines (eg 35gms2) no one knows how thin the lawn you are doing better than you.
Be aware that success rate will probably not be 100% anyway, especially if in an existing lawn.
And be aware that you or anyone will always struggle to put down 35gms2 accurately anyway.
If its very thin, increase a little
If its not, reduce it!
And be aware that fescue and rye will germinate far quicker than bents, although bent seeds are very low in quantity, but are a very useful seed to have in the sward.
They are very small seeds so you may not even see them!
Good luck...are you seeding soon?
At the moment, it would be like pre-germinating seed! If you know what I mean?
Hi David
I use the Scotts SR2000 fertiliser spreader, although it'a meant to be for only fertiliser it's ok to use on a not so windy day, I had been applying my seed at roughly 20-30g per m2 into existing lawns...
yes, even the Scotts drop is not dead accurate that's what I meant
SR2000 will be different if seed mix is not same, slightly damp, slightly blocked etc etc
Use your eyes as a guide sometimes, rather than a piece of paper
Remember, grass will flourish and thicken so less can be more.......(tongue in cheek)
