Ingredients

Lawn Starter (8-16-8): high phosphorus liquid fertilizer. Feeds new roots so seedlings establish quickly.

Iron Boost (20-0-1): iron citrate liquid fertilizer. Gives your lawn deep green color without pushing excess growth.

Lawn Aid (0-0-3): potassium liquid treatment. Helps new grass handle heat stress and recover from dry spells.

How to use

Seed in early fall or spring when soil temps are 55 to 70 degrees F.

Prep your soil by raking the top 1 to 2 inches loose and removing any rocks or debris.
Spread Fescue Rescue seed evenly at 8 lbs per 1,000 sq ft, then rake lightly for good seed-to-soil contact.
Apply Lawn Starter the same day and water thoroughly.
Keep the soil moist by watering daily until seedlings reach 2 to 3 inches tall.
Once your lawn is established, apply Iron Boost for color, then Lawn Aid for heat protection.

FAQ

When is the best time to plant the Start Your Lawn from Scratch Kit?

The Start Your Lawn from Scratch Kit works best in early fall or spring when soil temperatures are 55 to 70 degrees F.

Fall seeding gives roots time to establish before winter. Spring seeding takes advantage of natural rainfall and warming soil.

Do I seed or fertilize first with this kit?

The Start Your Lawn from Scratch Kit is designed for same-day application. Spread your Fescue Rescue seed first, then apply Lawn Starter fertilizer right after.

Applying both the same day gives seedlings immediate access to the phosphorus they need for strong root development.

How long does it take for the grass seed to germinate?

Fescue Rescue tall fescue grass seed in the Start Your Lawn from Scratch Kit typically germinates in 7 to 14 days with consistent moisture and temperatures.

Keep the soil surface moist daily until seedlings begin to grow, then gradually reduce watering frequency.

How much lawn does the Start Your Lawn from Scratch Kit cover?

The Start Your Lawn from Scratch Kit covers up to 1,250 sq ft of new lawn at the recommended seeding rate of 8 lbs per 1,000 sq ft.

For larger areas, add extra Fescue Rescue Grass Seed bags to extend coverage.

When do I apply Iron Boost and Lawn Aid from the kit?

Apply Iron Boost and Lawn Aid from the Start Your Lawn from Scratch Kit after your new grass is established, meaning it has been mowed 2 to 3 times and roots resist a gentle tug.

Iron Boost delivers deep green color. Lawn Aid helps new grass handle heat and hold moisture during warm months.

How do I know when my new lawn is established?

Your lawn from the Start Your Lawn from Scratch Kit is established when grass has been mowed 2 to 3 times and roots hold firm when you give a blade a gentle tug.

At that point you can resume normal foot traffic and shift to a regular mowing and fertilizing schedule.

Tons of green growth

This seed blend combined with Sunday’s fertilizers worked awesome for our struggling Idaho lawn. I seeded 3 times over the course of about 2 months and we had tons of growth and it’s continuing to fill in bare spots months later.
