How to repair your lawn patches
- Remove all dead grass, weeds and their roots from the patch. Lightly rake the bare soil, breaking up any hard lumps or compacted soil surfaces
- Apply Gro-Sure® Smart Patch Repair to the patch with the built-in spreader up to a 2mm depth
- Water with a fine spray to moisten the mixture and activate the seed
- You can apply slightly less when covering thin grass rather than a bare patch
Aftercare: You can mow the patch for the first time when the grass is 5-8cm (2-3”) high. Do not remove more than 1/3 of the grass leaf at any one time. Feed your lawn after the first 2 cuts.
