daily temperatures are between 60° F and 80° F.
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
4 Easy Steps to Planting Seed
1. PREPARE THE SOIL
Bare Spots and New Lawns
• Remove all debris from planting area.
• Till or rake to loosen top 2" to 3" of soil.
• Rake smooth to create a flat, level planting area.
Overseeding and Thin Areas
• Mow the lawn as short as possible & remove clippings.
• Rake thoroughly removing thatch (dead grass) and
debris to expose the soil.
• Aerate lawn if possible to allow better air and water
penetration into the soil.
2. FERTILIZE PLANTING AREA
• Apply a starter fertilizer at the manufacturer’s
recommended rate.
• Lime may need to be added in some areas to ensure
proper soil pH levels.
3. PLANT THE SEED
• Using a drop-type, rotary or hand held spreader, apply
the seed evenly to avoid skips, overlapping &
streaking.
• Gently rake, working seed into soil about ¼
"
.
4. WATER SEEDED AREA
• Water daily to keep soil moist.
• Do not allow the top ½" of the soil to become dry until
seedlings have completely emerged.
• Once grass becomes established, reduce watering to
½" twice a week.

INSTRUCCIONES DE SIEMBRA
4 Pasos Fáciles para Plantar Semilla
1. Preparar la Tierra
Áreas Descubiertas y Céspedes Nuevos
• Remueva todo el desecho del área que va a sembrar.
• Rastrille para aflojar de 2" a 3" de la cobertura
de la tierra.
• Rastrille suavemente para crear una área de siembra
nivelada y pareja.
Para Sobre Siembra y Áreas Poco Densas
• Corte el césped existente lo mas corto posible y
remueva toda la corteza.
• Rastrille profundamente para remover todo el
césped seco y desechos para exponer la tierra.
• Si es posible airee el césped para permitir la
penetración de aire y agua a la tierra.
2. Fertilización
• Aplique un fertilizante de inicio usando los
índices recomendados por el fabricante para
buenos resultados.
• En algunas regiones es necesario utilizar Cal para
balancear el nivel de pH en la tierra.
3. Sembrar la Semilla
• Use una propagadora de mano, rotaria ó tipo-caída,
aplique la semilla de modo uniforme con los índices
recomendados para evitar áreas sin semilla, áreas
con sobre-siembra ó áreas manchadas.
• Rastrille suavemente el área sembrada para que la
semilla quede a una profundidad de la tierra de ¼
"
.
4. Regar el Área Sembrada
• Riegue diariamente para mantener la
tierra húmeda.
• No permita que ½" de la superficie de la tierra se
seque hasta que las plantas hayan emergido
completamente.
• Una vez que el césped se haya establecido reduzca el
agua a ½" dos veces por semana.
