Couch Seed Sowing Instructions

Couch seed should be sown at a rate of 1kg per 100 square metres.

Due to its small size it is recommended to sow Couch seed separately from other seeds if a mix is required.

When sowing couch seed it is recommended to mix it with sand prior to spreading. Simply mix one bucket of sand to the required amount of seed per 100 square metres and spread the mix over the area to be sown.

This process makes the task of evenly spreading the seed easier to achieve and reduces the potential of patchy germination.

• Couch seed should only be lightly raked after sowing. Do not bury the seed more than 5mm below the surface.
• The seed bed should be kept constantly moist until the new seedlings are at the three-leaf stage.
• Couch seed can take up to 21 days to germinate.
• The ideal time for sowing Couch in Melbourne is November – late January.
