How to use (quick, practical guidance)
- Prepare the bare area by clearing debris and loosening the topsoil for better seed contact.
- Open the kit and evenly spread the seed, starter fertilizer, and mulch over the target patch.
- Gently rake to incorporate the mulch with the soil surface and press seed lightly into place for stable germination.
- Water consistently to keep the surface moist until the new blades establish, then resume normal lawn watering as roots deepen.
