## Description

Product Description Avern Turbo Seed A scientifically enhanced, fast growing, hardwearing, dog pee resistant grass seed that creates durable, lush green lawns for the whole family to enjoy. Ideal for new lawns, over-seeding, renovating and patch repairing. Avern - Turbo Seed, a specially selected seed mixture delivering 4 major benefits Excellent green colour Turbo Seed's improved year-round stress-tolerance creates a healthy, thriving turf with better resistance to weed invasion and improved tolerance to disease. Compared to traditional varieties of perennial ryegrass, Turbo Seed becomes greener sooner, and stays greener for longer. Reduces dog patches The Turbo Seed mixture has been carefully selected to ensure only dog pee resistant varieties are used. Over a hundred varieties of seeds, from seven different species have been tested, with the most resistant varieties selected. Turbo Seed is ideal for pet lovers, whether it's for a new lawn, or for over-seeding dog patches. Exceptional cold-tolerance for year-round green turf Avern's Turbo Seed has exceptional winter performance. Varieties chosen have better stress-tolerance and recover faster after periods of extreme temperatures and disease attack Increased salt tolerance Whether the salinity is due to salt in the soil, the nearby sea or the irrigation water, Avern's Turbo Seed offers better plant growth than standard grass seed mixtures. How soon will my lawn be ready? Factors that affect the speed of growth Most lawn seeds can take between 7 to 30 days to germinate in the perfect conditions. Avern's Turbo Seed is a fast-germinating seed that can start from 7 days in good conditions . However, it's important to understand the external factors that can affect the rate of growth. Temperature & Time of Year - Optimum time is mid to late Spring or early Autumn. At this time soil temperature and moisture levels are at their best providing the fastest results. Sowing at other times will still deliver results, but germination may take longer. Seed Bed Preparation - Preparing your seed bed is vital for fast germination. Dig the soil down to 8 inches/20 cm, braking up any lumps to ensure the soil is loose for root growth. Rolling the top is fine, but ensure the ground is not overly compacted. Moisture - The ground needs the right amount of water, too little and your grass won't grow, too much and you seeds will wash away and seedlings will uproot. Use a fine spray to avoid washing away seeds. Growing at different times of the year Sowing the seeds out of peak season, can still create fantastic results, but may take a little longer, especially in colder weather. Cover your seeds - once you have sowed your seeds, rake over and lightly cover with soil. This can keep your seeds warm, trap in moisture and make it harder for birds to eat your seeds. Be Patient - Seeds are resilient and unlikely to die, but may take time to grow. First Cut We recommend that you wait until the grass has grown at least 3 inches/75mm before the first cut. Ideally until the lawn has fully established, only cut off a maximum of 20% at a time. Once established this lawn can be cut down to 13mm/half an inch. Top Tips for Fast Growth Seed at the optimum time: Mid To Late Spring or Early Autumn Prepare your ground, making sure the top 8 inches isn't too compact. Cover your seeds to protect from cold and birds Ensure ground is kept moist - but don't wash away your seeds Cut the new grass once in reaches at least 3 inches. Preparation For New Lawns 1. Clear debris and remove weeds from the area. 2. Dig over the soil to a depth of 20-25cm. 3. Top dress the area if required and level surface. 4. Roll or walk over the soil in the area to firm it. For Overseeding/Repairing 1. Mow the area to around 5cm. 2. Remove any moss and weed remains. 3. Top dress the area if required. 4. Level out the area to create a flat and even surface. 5. Aerate the area if the ground is hard. Application 1 . Sow the seed by hand or with a drop-seeder. 2. Lightly rake the sown area to incorporate the seed in the soil. 3. Roll or walk over the soil in the area to press the seed into the soil. Tip: In dry conditions, water the area thoroughly the day before sowing the seed Watering 1. Water thoroughly using a sprinkler, taking care not to wash the seeds away. 2 . In dry conditions, water the area daily to maintain soil moisture levels until the seed germinates and establishes. Aftercare 1. Keep sown area watered especially in dry conditions. 2. Do not use weed killers or strong fertilisers on the sown area.

Review: Great - This is amazing. I used this at the beginning of January, a week later we had terrible snow. Took a while to start growing (x6 weeks) but when it started it looked really full and healthy. It looks amazing now summer is here. I would highly recommend this product. I bought 3 bags.
Review: It works! - I purchased this Avern Turbo Grass seed in April [2024] to overseed my patchy lawn; I cut the grass, scarified it and aerated it before watering it and applying the seed the next day and watered it every other day. Initially, I was disappointed because I saw no results after a few days, but after 2 weeks I saw growth and the lawn was looking better! I decided to apply more seed last week, this time I watered the ground, put the seed down [applied by hand] and then covered the seed with a light sprinkling of topsoil and watered the top soil the same evening. To my surprise, I noticed growth within 6 days! This makes me believe that your success with this product is down to application, ground conditions, and weather conditions; We've had a wet spring in the UK so maybe April was a little wet/cold for faster growth? I can honestly say that the new grass is looking a lot greener and seems nice and healthy. - If you don't have pets, I'd also recommend buying some pegs and net from desertcart (I paid £7 for some green netting and 20 green plastic ground pegs) because I found that the birds were trying to feast on the seed, which also possibly explains why the topsoil application was more successful than the first.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well even in colder weather
*by A***N on 13 April 2026*

Really impressed with this grass seed. Used it during colder months when I wasn’t expecting much, but it actually established well and started growing even in low temperatures. Coverage is good and it’s helped fill in patchy areas nicely. With a bit of watering and patience, results came through better than expected for the time of year. Overall, a great option if you’re trying to repair or improve your lawn outside of the usual growing season. Would definitely use again.
