Looking to buy lawn seed?  Don't end up with too much or too little.  Follow our tips below to get an idea of the size of your lawn.

3.  Know the Sowing Rate:

Check the sowing rate for the seed you want to purchase.  On all our products we include a per 100 square metre sowing rate.  Remember that it does vary from one variety to the next.  Warm season grasses like couch can be 1kg per 100sqm and Cool Season grasses like Fescues can be 3 or 4 kgs per 100sqm.

Good luck!  See our Step by Step Guide on How to Sow Lawn Seed here.
