Step 1: Cut existing lawn down to expose soil of the area you wish to repair. Make sure you remove any weeds in the area.Step 2: Lightly rake the area to loosen the soil, optionally laying down a fertiliser such as Dynamic Lifter Organic Lawn Food to improve the soil around the desired area.Step 3: Scatter the Yates Lawn Repair, with the first half of the product scattered in a north-south direction and the remaining half in an east-west direction. Rake into the surface, in one direction only to ensure a more even result.Step 4: Water the patch/new lawn regularly making sure the area is kept moist at all times. Also avoid traffic on the area until the lawn is well established.Best sowing times: For best results sow in early autumn to allow development of a deep root system prior to first summer. Sowing in spring is also an ideal time, though more watering may be required throughout the first summer.
