Alternative Eco Lawn

The Alternative Eco Lawn is a rather revolutionary mixture that combines next-generation grasses with creeping micro-clover endowed with multiple qualities. Both economical and environmentally friendly, this lawn forms a beautiful blanket that will remain green all year round while requiring less fertiliser, less watering, and less weedkiller. The seeds are preferably sown in March-April  by broadcasting, in the sun, in well-prepared and loosened soil. 1 kg can cover up to 50 m².

Composition:

• 15% English ryegrass 4N FABIAN: very good resistance to trampling, drought, and cold, while having a more intense green colour.

• 55% Creeping red fescue MAXIMA

• 25% Chewings fescue BELLEAIRE

• 5% Micro-clover PIPOLINA: a small non-fodder clover, specifically selected for lawn use. It has all the advantages of clover, with very small leaves. Micro-clovers produce their own natural fertiliser, which nourishes the grass and keeps the lawn green and strong. Their deep roots reduce the need for water: the lawn remains green even in summer. The dense vegetation cover provided also prevents the establishment of unwanted plants.

• Non-fodder use

Product characteristics and benefits:

• NO FERTILISER: the clover fixes nitrogen from the air and returns it to the soil, and therefore to the grass. No need for nitrogen fertilisation. 

• NO WEEDKILLER: the presence of micro-clover eliminates the need for weedkiller. 

• WATER SAVING: micro-clover is more drought-resistant than grass and remains green in summer. 

• REGULAR SHORT MOWING: the shorter the mowing (15 to 25 mm (1in)) and the more regular, the smaller and tighter the micro-clover leaves are.

Usage and dosage:

• 1 kg: covers up to 50 m2

• Sowing rate: roughly 20 g/m2
