General Lawn Cultivation Information
- Dig or till the soil to a depth of 20 cm.
- Enrich with organic fertilizer, till again, and lightly press the surface using a lawn roller.
- Sow in continental climates from March to June and August to October.
- Use a phosphorus-rich fertilizer during planting, and after the first mowing, fertilize every three months with a slow-release organic fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
- Once the soil is prepared, broadcast the seed in a criss-cross pattern for even distribution.
- Keep the soil consistently moist to encourage germination.
- First mowing should be done when the lawn reaches a height of 8–10 cm, removing only 30% of the height. Maintain this percentage for the next two mowings. Afterward, keep the mowing height no higher than 3–3.5 cm.
