Canada Green Grass Seed

 After purchasing your Canada Green Grass Seed it is now time to get it into the ground. Even though Canada Green grass lawn seed mixture is the best grass seed and can be grown on a soil-less bed, you can insure long life for your lawn by putting in a little light work and preparing the planting surface prior to planting grass seeds. CanadaGreen grass seed can be used to grow a new lush green lawn, to over-seed an existing one, or to simply fill in bare patches in your yard.

 Here are 5 simple steps you should follow in planting your Canada Green grass seeds:

1) For new lawns you want to loosen the top 2-3 inches of soil. For existing lawns you will need to mow grass as short as possible and loosen the top 1/4 inch of soil in the bare spots by turning over with a small shovel. This process helps the new grass seed take root where the old grass obviously would not grow.

2) Secondly, you will need to remove all debris (sticks, stones, leaf litter, dead grass, etc.) with a rake and break up any clumps of soil larger than a silver dollar. Fill any areas that might collect excessive water with top soil.

3) Next, spread Canadian grass seed evenly by hand for small areas or use a mechanical seeder for larger areas. Read packaging to determine rate of canada green lawn seed per square foot based on your individual conditions. A 2 pound bag of Canada Green grass seed will typically cover 1000 square feet however newer lawns will need more lawn grass seed per sq. ft. while over-seeding and patching may require less grass seed.

4) After seeding you will want to lightly nestle the lawn grass seeds into the soil with a rake, partially burying the grass seed and  being careful not to cover them completely. *Optional: Cover the canadian grass seed with a fertilizer to hold seeds in place and discourage squirrels and birds.

5) Water the planted Canada Green grass seeds until the soil is moist never allowing the soil to dry out completely. Use a light mist of water rather than a strong jet to avoid displacement of newly planted lawn grass seed. Continue to keep area moist by watering daily until you have noticed new Canada Green grass growing in, usually within a week.

6) Enjoy your new lawn full of lush Canada Green grass !
