ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE
Watering
To avoid drying out and allow the new sod to root down, newly planted GN-1 should be watered daily and be kept wet during the first 7-10 days. Once the new sod has rooted into the soil, watering frequency should be reduced. Due to varying soil and climate conditions, it is difficult to recommend a definite watering schedule. However, a deep soaking every 5-7 days is generally adequate during the growing season. Desert environments may require more frequent deep watering.
Mowing
GN-1 should be mowed weekly during the growing season with a reel mower. Clippings are best removed. It should be mowed to a height of 1/2 to 1 inch. Avoid scalping.
Fertilization
To maintain its beauty, color and density, GN-1 is best fertilized during the fall, early winter and spring using pound of nitrogen for each application per 1,000 square feet of lawn. Read and follow all instructions regarding fertilizer use and application.
Weed, Insect and Disease Control
GN-1 is virtually free of weeds, insects and diseases when it is delivered. However, in some installations, weed and insect problems may occur from close proximity to neighboring lawns having these problems. Various cultural practices may be used to reduce these problems. However, should chemical controls be required, they should be used in accordance with written instructions provided by the manufacturer.
