This mix contains 20% more grass seed and covers more bare spots than any other lawn patching mixture on the market. The seed establishment mulch in this product keeps the seedbed moist which ensures that grass seedlings won’t dry out and improves germination.

The Black Beauty® Ultra grass seed in Black Beauty® Patcher Lawn Bare Spot Repair germinates in 10 – 14 days.

DIRECTIONS

For the best results, follow the directions below for establishing a new lawn or overseeding an existing one.

Prepare: 

  • Mow – Mow the lawn at the lowest mower setting before seeding to allow the seed to reach the soil.
  • Rake  Lightly rake over bare spots with a metal rake to remove dead grass and debris.  Rake the soil to create a loosened seed bed. 
  • Add Topsoil – If needed, add additional topsoil to fill in holes and level the ground. 

Apply:

  • When to apply – The best time to apply seed is mid-August to mid-October while the ground is still warm and the nights are cooler. Mid-March through mid-May is the next best time to plant when the soil temperature reaches 55ºFahrenheit and the temperature of the air stays consistently warm.
  • Spread product – Shake the bag (or jug) prior to the application of this product. Spread the contents of Black Beauty® Patcher Bare Spot Repair evenly on the loosened soil. See back of the bag for an example of proper coverage. Rake lightly to achieve even coverage.

Maintain:

  • Water – Water the bare spot gently after application, allowing the mulch to absorb it. Water the area daily for 1 to 2 weeks, then water once a week, or as needed when the mulch dries out. It is important to water the seedbed for sufficient grass seed germination and expansion of the mulch to provide soil coverage.
  • Germination – New grass should start to germinate in 14 days, but may take during a colder spring season. Seed germinates once soil temperatures reach 55°F. Patcher mulch will eventually biodegrade into the soil. 
  • Mow – Begin mowing the bare spot when the new grass has reached a height of 3 – 4 inches. Make sure the mower has sharp blades. Be careful not to scalp the lawn. Low mowing will stress the root system and encourage the growth of weeds.
