Forteprato - Bottos 1 kg
€11,50
Forteprato di Bottos is a lawn seed mix for ftough and hardy areas, with a light colour and medium-coarse texture, but highly resistant to diseases and summer drought, and therefore low maintenance. Not recommended for creating high-end gardens. It is an ideal mix for anyone who cannot devote much time to lawn care.
The mix, consisting of highly heat-tolerant tall fescue and ryegrasses known for their cold resistance, provides year-round cover, with very low maintenance requirements and reduced water and fertiliser needs. Also suitable for naturalistic use in Mediterranean areas in lowland or coastal zones.
Usage recommendations
| Sowing and dosage | Germination may take 4 to 10 days, depending on soil temperatures. Note that the required soil temperature is above 8°C. The dosage is 40-50 g/m², with maximum doses recommended in case of high temperatures or imperfect preparation of the seedbed. It is always recommended to use lawn topsoil. |
| Mowing | Perform the first cut when the grass reaches 8-10 cm and, during annual maintenance in shaded areas, do not cut below 6 cm. |
| Irrigation | During sowing and reseeding, keep the soil consistently moist until complete germination. During the summer, in the absence of rain, irrigate if possible with 5-15 mm of water per week. |
| Nutrition | Apply phosphate fertiliser at sowing. For maintenance in shaded areas, opt for an N/K ratio of 1:2 with no more than 15 units of nitrogen per m² per year; in sun/shade and/or full sun conditions, it is generally advisable not to exceed 20 units of nitrogen per m² per year |
