Drought Master Blend FAQs
- When is the best time for sowing Drought Master Blend?
Ideally Spring and Autumn are better times because temperatures are more moderate, but you can sow at any time of year. Bear in mind that watering requirements increase in hotter locations and seasons and that cold soil temperatures will slow down germination and establishment times. The Couch in this blend will not germinate when soil temperatures are low e.g. late autumn, winter and early spring in Melbourne.
- How long until I see results?
The Perennial Ryegrass in this blend will germinate very quickly, around 7 days in Spring or Autumn. The Couch grass seed takes a little longer and depends on soil temperatures and watering. Warmer, well-watered conditions speed up germination, while cooler or drier conditions can slow it down. Once it starts growing, Couch establishes quickly.
