More About the Mixtures:  Grass Seed: Dwarf ryegrass is a specifically bred strain of perennial ryegrass, selected for its ability to produce a thicker sward than a standard ryegrass species and its shorter growth habits. It is quick to germinate, establishes quickly and tolerates shade very well.  Fertiliser: This phosphate-rich fertiliser will provide your seedbed with the best foundation for establishing new seedlings as phosphorus aids healthy grassroots and shoots. The potassium content will help the grass become strong and hardy, fighting off any diseases that seedlings are susceptible to. The nitrogen will give your lawn the desired rich green look we all desire.  This fertiliser is made up of homogenous granules. This means that each granule has the same nutrient analysis to ensure an even spread of nutrients across the sown area. With Cheaper blended fertilisers, the analysis is represented in the bag rather than each granular, which leads to an uneven spread of nutrients. Using a Blended fertiliser can lead to a patchy lawn, parts of your lawn may grow quicker than others and the colour of the grass may differ throughout.
