Grass Seed
Seed amount for lawn.
Explanation
Seeding a lawn requires the right rate. Too little = patches and weeds. Too much = competition and disease. ### Recommended Rate - **New Lawn**: 6 to 8 lbs per 1000 sq ft (30-40 g/m²). - **Overseeding**: 3 to 4 lbs per 1000 sq ft (15-20 g/m²). ### Calculation Area x Rate = Total Weight needed. ### Seeding Tips 1. Use a spreader and do two passes in cross directions. 2. Roll the soil to ensure seed-to-soil contact. 3. Water gently (mist) to avoid washing seeds away.
Examples
- 2000 sq ft lawn. New seeding: 2 x 7lbs = 14 lbs of seed.
- Overseeding same lawn: ~7-8 lbs.
