Hello here is how to exactly calculate


Area x seed rate/100 x mix = kg per acre

Kentucky Blue Grass .5-.7kg per 1000m2
perennial rye grass 3.2-4.0kgs per 1000m2
creeping red fescue 1.6-2.0kg's per 1000m2


so for a 50%kb 25%pr 25%Cr it would go

1000m2 x .7/100 x .50= 3.5kg's per 1000m2


Then do the formula twice more for the other mixes and you should get your answer which would be 18.5kg per 1000m2.

If your site has irrigation then you can use the lower end. so .5 instead of .7 for kentucky blue

Any more questions or if the grass your seeding is something else let me know and i'll try to help
