When should you plant grass in South Africa?
When to Plant.
In colder climates, plant new grass seed in early spring as the lawns are just coming out of winter, or late summer. In warm climates, plant in late spring/early summer.
Can I plant grass in winter South Africa?
Late winter/early autumn – after any chance of frost – is the best time to sow or plant and allow young seedlings to establish themselves for healthy growth.
After sowing seed or planting, regular watering and weeding needs to be done, as well as adding fertiliser as recommended by the seed manufacturer.
How do you grow grass in South Africa?
Mix the grass seed with some fine, dry sand to bulk up the sowing mixture. This helps to spread the seed evenly over the surface area.
Scatter the contents of one 30 g packet evenly over 10 square metres of soil surface. Rake in extremely lightly so that the seeds are covered by 3 mm of soil.
