Laying a lawn - are you just setting up a lawn or are you planning to do so? Don't know which grass seeds to choose? Would you like to set up a lawn once and have a long-lasting effect for years? Choose a versatile self-compacting grass.
COMPOSITION:
Special varieties of seeds of perennial ryegrass, red fescue - creeping, meadow grass.
DOSAGE:
20 - 30 gsm
HOW DOES SELF THICKENING GRASS WORK?
In the case of ordinary grass seeds, the principle of operation is simple - one sown seed grows into one plant - a clump. Then it grows, the clump thickens, and that's the end of the process. This is simplified, because it should be remembered that not all grass seeds germinate. It is a matter of many factors, including: quality of grass seeds, weather conditions, proper care, watering. As a result, despite dense sowing, the appearance of the lawn may be far from expectations.
Unlike regular grasses, SELF thickening grass grows differently. From one grass seed sown, one plant grows - a clump. Then it grows, the clump thickens BUT this is not the end of the process. At the same time, a tuft of grass sends out rhizomes (runners) horizontally to the side, from which further small tufts of grass grow. This process can be compared to a constantly expanding natural grass network of shoots, from which new plants grow - clumps of grass. It will last until every free surface is sodded, and in the case of holes, damage or defects on the lawn, until regeneration itself takes place, i.e. filling the empty space with new grass. This is how, in short, the self-compaction and self-regeneration of the lawn takes place. This applies to the establishment of a lawn as well as to lawn renovation and regeneration. This type of grass (creeping ryegrass - RPR) has so far been used on professional football pitches or golf courses.
DIFFERENCE: regular vs. SELF thickening
Plain Grass: A collection of individual, separate clumps of grass.
SELF-thickening grass: a dense network of tufts of grass interconnected by rhizomes, constantly expanding.
ADVANTAGES OF SELF THICKENING GRASS
ONLY thickening by rhizomes
It creates a compact, natural network of self-growing rhizomes from which new clumps of grass grow. At a later stage, each newly formed clump continues to shoot rhizomes to the side and subsequent clumps grow. This is how the self-compacting process takes place. Thanks to this, the grass quickly covers free surfaces and cavities, and as a result of intensive and lush growth, we get a dense lawn for years, both in the case of lawn establishment and lawn renovation.
High resistance and self-regeneration
Connected rhizomes form a dense network that firmly binds the turf together. In combination with the rapid growth and rooting of the grass, this ensures high resistance of the lawn to intensive trampling and use. What's more, breaking the rhizomes or damaging the clump stimulates the grass to spread and regenerate itself. This type of grass seed is used on the turf of professional football pitches or golf courses.
Long-lasting effect
The rapid and intensive growth of the grass causes the lawn to constantly rejuvenate, making it look fresh for years, not just one season. Low internodes (at a height of 2-3 cm) mean that the grass can be mowed lower than most popular species on the market. In the event of damage to the clump (drought, mowing), the free space on the lawn will be filled with a new clump of grass from rhizomes spreading to the sides (self-regeneration). It is also more resistant to freezing, thanks to which it will survive the winter better. These unique features contribute to a long-lasting effect - a dense lawn for years.
A natural weed barrier
Thanks to the rapid growth and the process of self-compaction by rhizomes, it creates a lawn with a dense, compact turf. In this way, it naturally reduces the occurrence of weeds or moss, which no longer have room for development. In addition to the aesthetic issue, less weeds and moss means less need to use special fertilizers or plant protection products and less work in lawn care.
Earlier results
Compared to most grasses available on the market, self-compacting grass seeds germinate at temperatures 2-4oC lower and emerge
much faster - after 7 days (most grass seeds on average after 14 days). It can therefore be sown earlier and in less favorable weather conditions. Features such as fast sodding and at lower temperatures mean that we can enjoy the result in the form of a beautiful and well-kept lawn much earlier.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SELF-THICKENING GRASS
- Self thickening of grass by rhizomes
- Quickly sodding free surfaces and cavities on the lawn
- Creates a compact, dense and lush turf
- Self-regeneration (branching) when damaged
- High resistance of the lawn to trampling and intensive use
- Intensive growth and continuous "rejuvenation" of the lawn
- A natural barrier against moss and weeds on the lawn
- It germinates at lower temperatures and quickly sods
- More resistant to frost - the lawn will survive the winter better
- You can mow the grass much lower - low internodes
APPLICATION OF SELF THICKENING GRASS
Purpose: lawn establishment, lawn renovation, lawn reseeding.
SAMO thickening grass found its way to ordinary lawns from professional football fields and golf courses, i.e. places that are particularly exposed to intensive use, losses, and at the same time must maintain an attractive and decorative appearance.
For this reason, its application is versatile. Ideal for overseeding on the lawn, renovation and regeneration of the lawn, where there are gaps, where the turf is poorly compacted or has been damaged. Its SELF thickening feature will work perfectly here. It will also be the right choice for those who set up a new lawn, would like to do it once and for all, and then enjoy the lasting and aesthetic effect for years.
Lawn overseeding - small gaps in the grass are your problem? Do you need to make a small grass seeding in exploited places? Choose a special 250g package of self-compacting grass for grass seeding.
Laying a lawn - are you just setting up a lawn or are you planning to do so? Don't know which grass seeds to choose? Would you like to set up a lawn once and have a long-lasting effect for years? Choose from universal self-compacting grass or sports self-compacting grass.
Lawn renovation - have you experienced problems with lawn renovation? Have you tried many grass seeds? Every year you repeat treatments and spend a lot of time on lawn care, and the effects are below expectations? In this case, choose self-compacting grass for lawn renovation.
Important: remember about proper lawn care and watering, especially in more sensitive places (shaded, under trees).
