Seeding a New Lawn with Soil3

Use Soil3 organic humus compost as a treatment over newly applied turfgrass seed, instead of wheat straw. Read: Soil3 vs. Wheat Straw. This is applicable in all seeded situations, from the home landscape to commercial sod production.

With the application of Soil3, we grow Fescue sod that's ready in 10 weeks - that's a great turn-around time from seed to lush sod - and it's the quickest we've ever grown it.

We first tested it by taking a 7 acre and applying 6 tons of Soil3 to the acre. The rest of the Fescue field received no Soil3, and that Fescue sod was 3 to 4 weeks behind in growth! Turf quality on the Soil3 fields was also superior.

The process is simple:
1. Spread Soil3 using a garden-variety or professional spreader
3. Spread it 1/4" thick (any deeper with smoother the seed)

Seed can be spread first, followed by an application of Soil3. To save time spreading, seed and Soil3 can mixed and spread together in a spreader.

When spreading 1/4" at seeding:
1 cubic bag will cover 3,000 sq. ft.
2 cubic bags will cover 6,000 sq. ft., etc.

The pictures below display the difference in quality between Fescue seeded with Soil3 treatment and Fescue seed without Soil3 application.
