## How to use  ![](/themes/custom/b_three/images/icon-svgs/caret.svg)   ![](/themes/custom/b_three/images/icon-svgs/caret.svg)  

 

##### New Lawns

Make sure the area to be sown is clean and level. Remove all weeds. If spraying weeds prior to sowing, use a non-residual weed killer. Spread Garden Time Lawn Soil evenly to a minimum depth of 50-75mm. Use a good quality lawn seed and follow sowing guide on packet. Water new lawn regularly and thoroughly until established.

##### Lawn Patching

Spread Garden Time Lawn Soil into low-lying areas of the lawn and level to a depth of around 15-20mm, leaving at least the tips of any existing grass showing through. After levelling, fertilise lightly using Garden Time Lawn Fertiliser and water the lawn thoroughly.

##### After Care

After 3-6 weeks fertilise using **Garden Time™ Lawn Fertiliser**, following application rates for new lawns. Regular watering is essential to the establishment of new lawn areas. If suitable water supply is not available, delay sowing until wetter months.

#####  Gardenias 

I have a potted Gardenia plant which I’ve had for several years. I re-potted it and feed it, but it still hasn’t produced any flowers. It gets the afternoon sun. Can you help me solve this problem so I can get flowers this season? I live in a windy area and not too far from the beach could this have something to do it?
