The 1 kg box packaging ensures optimal seed preservation and facilitates storage.

Installation and Use

The success of your meadow depends on careful ground preparation. Begin by turning the soil to a depth of 15 to 20 cm, carefully removing stones, roots, and weeds. Then refine the surface using a hoe or rake to obtain a fine and even seedbed.

The ideal sowing takes place in spring (March-May) or autumn (September-October), periods offering optimal temperature and humidity conditions. Evenly distribute 10 grams of seed per m² by crossing passes. Lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and gently firm down with the back of the rake.

The initial watering should be generous but with a fine spray to avoid washing away the seeds. Keep the soil moist during the first 3 weeks until complete germination. The first mowing will take place when the grass reaches 8 to 10 cm in height, cutting only the top third.

Expert Tips and Advice

To optimise your results, combine this meadow with a starter fertiliser rich in phosphorus to encourage root development. An application of well-composted compost before sowing will improve soil structure and water retention. On sloped terrain, consider using an anti-erosion protection net during the first few weeks.

Professionals recommend planning sowing according to local weather conditions: avoid periods of summer heat waves and the risk of late frosts. For large surfaces, the use of a broadcast spreader will ensure a more uniform distribution than manual sowing.

Complete your landscaping with our range of specialist gardening tools: rakes, watering cans, and automatic irrigation systems for simplified maintenance. Our selection of organic fertilisers will extend the beauty and resilience of your meadow season after season. For heavily trafficked areas, plan a light annual overseeding to maintain optimal density.
