How it works

Scotts Lawn Builder™ Seed & Feed works by delivering a blend of lawn seeds and lawn starter fertiliser that is easy to apply and care for during the first few weeks until established

How to use

For a new lawn:

Turn over the top 10cm of soil and break up clods to produce a fine, weed-free surface. For best results, apply a 3cm layer of Scotts Lawn Builder™ Topdress Mix and rake over again.
Determine the size of your area in square metres by multiplying the length by the width (1 large stride = 1 metre approx).
Shake the box well and apply approximately 2 handfuls (28g/m²) by moving backwards as you scatter the seed. Ensure the seed is evenly dispersed and lightly rake over.
Deeply water the area using a soft spray and keep the area evenly moist until the seedlings reach 5-8cm tall.
First mow when seedlings reach 8-10cm tall.
After 3 months, fertilise the whole lawn with Scotts Lawn Builder™ All Purpose Slow Release Lawn Fertiliser.

Oversowing:

Closely mow the existing lawn.
Shake the box well before use and apply approximately 1 handful (14g) of the product per square metre by moving backwards as you scatter the seed.
Try to ensure the seed is evenly dispersed.
Deeply water the area using a soft spray and keep the area evenly moist until the area evenly moist for the first 2-3 weeks
First mow when seedlings reach 8-10cm tall.
After 3 months, fertilise the whole lawn with Scotts Lawn Builder™ All Purpose Slow Release Lawn Fertiliser.
