Lawnhub SEED
Oversowing Ryegrass into a couch (Bermuda) lawn
Firstly, if you have applied any sort of pre-emergent in the 4-6 months prior to seed going down, you will not have the chance to oversow. The pre-emergent barrier is going to severely impact your success. Also if you’re in a frost prone area plan to seed at least 6 weeks prior to the onset of the frost period. Don’t attempt an oversow unless your lawn is in top health and at least 2 years old. This process can inhibit the couch coming out of dormancy in spring.
Here is a guide to Oversowing 100 m2 for example:
- Apply the top rate of Astro Plant Growth Regulator a day or 2 prior to putting seed down.
- Scarify, scalp or verticut the lawn to open up the canopy. The real goal here is to open up the grass so we can get the seed down near the soil surface
- Use half of your 3kg tub of SEED and spread in one direction followed by the other half of the SEED in the other direction. The goal is a consistent coverage of SEED. 3kg of SEED per 100m2 is a good amount.
- With a simple garden rake, rake the SEED down into the grass canopy. You can do this in 2 directions
- Roll the seed. I used my cylinder mower (without the engine on)
- Spread half of your starter fertiliser and wetting agent. GOT LAID + BBW.
- The seed needs to be damp for the first 7-10 days as it germinates. Short frequent cycles are best 2-4 times per day depending on daily high temps.
- Seed will germinate after around 7-8 days. After 10 days if you’re happy with coverage start to transition irrigation cycles to longer duration but less frequently.
- Mowing can commence around 7 days after germination. Start high and work down slowly
- After 4 weeks you can spread the other half of the GOT LAID + BBW. however something higher in nitrogen is fine for this grass during winter.
- At the end of winter and before renovations begin you can apply a selective herbicide to remove the rye from the couch.

Primo HG
The only turf growth regulator registered for home use in Australia.
PRIMO® HG Turf Growth Regulator will promote greener, denser, more resilient lawns, reduced height of leaf growth, fewer clippings and therefore less time spent on maintenance. PRIMO® HG is the trusted growth regulator that pre-conditions turf for stress and optimises surface quality and colour. Achieve professional turf quality at home.
PRIMO® HG is a lawn growth regulator which can reduce leaf and stem elongation and speed of growth, leading to reducing mowing frequency, creating a greener lawn and developing more resilient and denser lawns. Recommended applications rates are designed to give approximately a 20 to 50% reduction in clipping yield over a 2 to 6 week period. Growth regulation begins 3 to 5 days after application. The amount of growth regulation achieved will vary between situations due to environmental conditions and lawn management practices. Therefore, application rates will need to be adjusted to match growing conditions, management practices and the amount of growth regulation required in each individual situation.
HOW TO PREPARE
1. Prior to opening, shake the PRIMO HG bottle well.
2. Add half the required amount of water to your sprayer.
3. Add the required quantity of PRIMO HG to the half full sprayer.
4. Add the remaining water required and ensure it is closed before shaking sprayer.
5. Only mix sufficient chemical to be used on the day of mixing for the application area.
HOW TO APPLY
• For best results do not mow 6 hours before or after application.
• Measure the lawn area before application to determine the size. Make up only enough mixture to
apply over the area.
• Evenly spray the mixed solution over the area to be treated.
• Thoroughly clean all equipment after application. Empty and thoroughly rinse sprayer with clean water.
