Only top quality grass seed is used in Lindenberg’s Premier brand lawn grass. You can buy cheaper seed, but it could take longer to fill in, or winter kill more easily. NEW LAWNS: The soil should be well cultivated, finely pulverized and levelled. Rolling it will show up those hollows that need to be filled. Plant a small area at a time and divide your seed so that the recommended quantity is applied to that area. Lightly rake or reroll. Keep the surface moist but not soaked, with several light, fine-spray waterings, rather than a few heavy applications, until the seed has germinated and taken root (usually 14-21 days depending on the weather). Then, watering should become heavier but at longer intervals. It is best to sow grass when weather conditions are moist and moderately cool (i.e. early spring, or very early fall). However, grass can be sown anytime if it has the moisture it needs. Lawns are heavy feeders and should therefore be fertilized regularly after the first year. PREMIER 909 FINE TURF Canada No. 1 Lawn Grass Mixture Approximate Blend: Kentucky Blue Grass 40% Creeping Red Fescue 45% Annual Rye 15% This is our most popular mixture. It has been a proven performer on the Prairies for many years. Premier “909” stands up to traffic and winter conditions better than many other mixtures, yet with a little moisture and care it looks great! The Kentucky Blue grass provides the fine-bladed grass whereas the Creeping Red Fescue is a hardier strain that blends well with the Kentucky Blue. Because the Kentucky Blue Grass accounts for relatively less than the other varieties in the mixture, 909 makes a hardier lawn requiring a minimum of care. The Annual Rye provides a cover crop for the first year to allow the other 2 varieties to become well established. Sow 500 g to 30 square meters (275 square feet).
