The MayFord Kikuyu Lawn Seed is a fast-spreading and low-maintenance turf grass, widely used for home gardens, sports fields, and erosion control. It is best sown evenly in grooves 2 cm deep, ensuring proper soil coverage and moisture retention.
Seedlings should be mixed with sand before sowing, with rolling or trampling recommended to encourage better soil contact. Pressing down the soil after sowing enhances germination, while avoiding puddles ensures healthy root establishment.
Mowing should be done at a cutting height of 2–3 cm, with fertilization at 30 g/m² applied four times a year. Superphosphate fertilizers improve root strength, while consistent watering promotes dense, green coverage
