Excellent green colour Turbo Seed's improved year-round stress-tolerance creates a healthy, thriving turf with better resistance to weed invasion and improved tolerance to disease. Compared to traditional varieties of perennial ryegrass, Turbo Seed becomes greener sooner, and stays greener for longer.	Reduces dog patches The Turbo Seed mixture has been carefully selected to ensure only dog pee resistant varieties are used. Over a hundred varieties of seeds, from seven different species have been tested, with the most resistant varieties selected. Turbo Seed is ideal for pet lovers, whether it's for a new lawn, or for over-seeding dog patches.	Exceptional cold-tolerance for year-round green turf Avern's Turbo Seed has exceptional winter performance. Varieties chosen have better stress-tolerance and recover faster after periods of extreme temperatures and disease attack	Increased salt tolerance Whether the salinity is due to salt in the soil, the nearby sea or the irrigation water, Avern's Turbo Seed offers better plant growth than standard grass seed mixtures.

How soon will my lawn be ready?

Factors that affect the speed of growth

Most lawn seeds can take between 7 to 30 days to germinate in the perfect conditions. Avern's Turbo Seed is a fast-germinating seed that can start from 7 days in good conditions. However, it's important to understand the external factors that can affect the rate of growth.

Temperature & Time of Year – Optimum time is mid to late Spring or early Autumn. At this time soil temperature and moisture levels are at their best providing the fastest results. Sowing at other times will still deliver results, but germination may take longer.

Seed Bed Preparation – Preparing your seed bed is vital for fast germination. Dig the soil down to 8 inches/20 cm, braking up any lumps to ensure the soil is loose for root growth. Rolling the top is fine, but ensure the ground is not overly compacted.

Moisture– The ground needs the right amount of water, too little and your grass won't grow, too much and you seeds will wash away and seedlings will uproot. Use a fine spray to avoid washing away seeds.

Growing at different times of the year

Sowing the seeds out of peak season, can still create fantastic results, but may take a little longer, especially in colder weather.

Cover your seeds – once you have sowed your seeds, rake over and lightly cover with soil. This can keep your seeds warm, trap in moisture and make it harder for birds to eat your seeds.

Be Patient– Seeds are resilient and unlikely to die, but may take time to grow.

First Cut

We recommend that you wait until the grass has grown at least 3 inches/75mm before the first cut. Ideally until the lawn has fully established, only cut off a maximum of 20% at a time.

Once established this lawn can be cut down to 13mm/half an inch.

Top Tips for Fast Growth

MAXIMISING PLANT DEVELOPMENT

GroMax Seed Treatment

• Improves establishment
• Stimulates root growth
• Improves tolerance to stress
• Enhances water and nutrient uptake

Stimulates Growth

Bio-stimulants assist the seedlings ability to take advantage of the soil's own inherent reserves of nutrient by stimulating the soil's microflora, resulting in improved root growth and establishment.

A Natural Supplement

Gromax is a dry formulation of natural humates and humic acids, seaweed extract, a proprietary blend of natural sugars (sucrose), vitamins (B complax & K), soluble potash and buffering agents. The product is compatible with most micro-nutrients, fertilisers and pesticides.

Key Ingredients

Preparation

For New Lawns:

1. Clear debris and remove weeds from the area. 2. Dig over the soil to a depth of 20-25cm. 3. Top dress the area if required and level surface. 4. Roll or walk over the soil in the area to firm it.

For Overseeding/Repairing:

1. Mow the area to around 5cm. 2. Remove any moss and weed remains. 3. Top dress the area if required. 4. Level out the area to create a flat and even surface. 5. Aerate the area if the ground is hard.

Application

1. Sow the seed by hand or with a drop-seeder.

2. Lightly rake the sown area to incorporate the seed in the soil.

3. Roll or walk over the soil in the area to press the seed into the soil.

Tip: In dry conditions, water the area thoroughly the day before sowing the seed

Watering

1. Water thoroughly using a sprinkler, taking care not to wash the seeds away.

2. In dry conditions, water the area daily to maintain soil moisture levels until the seed germinates and establishes.

Aftercare

1. Keep sown area watered especially in dry conditions.

2. Do not use weed killers or strong fertilisers on the sown area.
