Sowing Times; March to June, September to October.
Before sowing, there are a couple of things to consider. This will struggle to germinate in the Summer, and if you try to sow it in the Winter, you will find that the seed will not germinate at all. Yes, we sell grass seed all year round, that’s because it stores exceptionally well when it is kept properly. So although, yes you might have bought it in the Winter, but that doesn’t translate to being able to germinate in the Winter.
Pre-Sowing Tips; Preparing your seedbed well goes a long way to ensuring successful germination and the future production of a fantastic lawn. One of the first things you’ll consider is the quality of the soil you are working with – determining what soil type you have will help you greatly as in in some instances, you may have extremely poor soil quality (e.g. leftover builders material in a new build) and it may be advisable to add top soil. Other soil types such as sandy, clay and loam can all be worked with but will still need to be well prepared.
The ideal seedbed should be free from weeds, moss and other debris. It will also need to be well draining to prevent water logging and of course, level. The most import pre-sowing tips to note is; AVOID FROSTS AT ALL COSTS.
To Sow A New Lawn; Dig the soil over to a depth of 20-25cm then remove weeds by hand or use a weed killer. Add top soil if you have found your soil to be of lower quality, raking the area to get a level seedbed. Sow the seed at our recommended rate of 50g per m2, by hand but it’s just as useful to use a seed spreader. After sowing rake the seed in so the seeds are amongst the soil, which will need to be firmed down by foot or a roller, to help encourage seed to soil contact. To Overseed A Lawn; You’ll need to remove any dead grass, weeds or moss by scarifying or raking the area, enough so the soil becomes loose. We recommend you sow the seed at a rate of 35g per m2, by using a seed spreader or simply by hand. Once you’ve spread your seed, rake in enough that the soil and seed are essentially one, then firm down by foot to improve seed to soil contact.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
