However, for best results, sow lawn seed in the spring from March to May, and in the early autumn from mid September through to mid October.  Preparation  New lawn  Firstly prepare the soil by clearing away any debris. Dig out any perennial weeds and treat the area with weedkiller. Once the soil is clear of weeds, prepare a seedbed: On a dry day, dig over the soil to a depth of 20-25cm (8-10 inches). Break down any lumps and tread the soil to firm it again. Level out any bumps or hollows using a rake, aiming to create a flat, even surface. The day before sowing, water thoroughly if the soil is dry and leave to soak in overnight.  Existing lawn  Remove any weeds either by hand or by using a selective weedkiller treatment. Once weeds are dead, mow the lawn closely before raking or scarifying to remove any moss and weed remains. If the ground appears hard or compacted aerate using a garden fork. Finally, spread Westland Lawn \u0026amp; Turf Dressing to fill any shallow holes and to level-out the surface.  Sowing  Apply the seed at a rate of 40g\/sq.m (30g\/sq.m for lawn repairs). As a guide one large handful is approximately 40g. Sprinkling the seed in 2 passes at right angles to each other will help spread the seed more uniformly. Lightly rake to gently incorporate the seed into the surface.  TIP  Shake the box of seed thoroughly to mix up the seeds and weigh out the amount required to cover the site.  After sowing Rolling: The ground should be rolled or lightly firmed by walking over it and pressing the seed into the soil. Watering: Water the lawn thoroughly using a fine-rosed watering can or a lawn sprinkler which produces a fine spray taking care not to wash the seeds away.","brand":"Westlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57352267497856,"sku":"30239069","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/3570\/2578\/files\/unwins-natures-haven-easy-wildflowers-shady-mix-1-2kg.jpg_2.jpg?v=1770297375","url":"https:\/\/oldrailwaylinegc.co.uk\/products\/unwins-nature-s-haven-1-2kg-easy-wildflowers-shady-mix","provider":"Old Railway Line Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
