Lawn holesappear for several reasons. Grass freeze in winter, drought, flooding after rainfall are factors that quickly thin our lawn. Snow mold, excessive moss and interference by animals - dogs, moles or cats - are no less dangerous for the lawn. All this makesturf losses a banealmost every lawn owner.
You can, of course, sow the grass in a traditional way or try to use pieces of ready-made grass from the roll. However,if we want to be sure of the expected effect and it is to last for years , it is worth reaching for a special thickening grass SAMO. This unique species of grass will not onlyperfectly solve the problem of holes in the lawnbut also prevent the re-formation of losses in the turf.
To understand why the proposed SAMO thickening grass produces better results than ordinary, traditionally used grasses, we must first explainhow holes are formed in the lawn , basically regardless of the reasons for their formation .
How do holes form in the lawn?
Well, when we set up a new lawn,each seed has a chance to grow no more than one tuft of grassIf we sowed the right amount of seeds evenly and most of them germinated, we get a compact, dense turf.Tufts of grass may grow over time, but their number will not increase by itself
Unfortunately, over time, due to various unfavorable factors, some grass tufts turn yellow, dry up, and finally die completely.These areas create holes in the turfand the entire lawn gets thinner over time.

Then there is no other way thansow new grass seeds in the place of the defects places of the lawn. So you have to do additional seeding , and the lawn still does not look perfect.
What kind of grass will perfectly fill the holes in the lawn?
We will achieve much better results by sowing a special thickening SAMO grass , intended for the regeneration of damaged lawns. This fantastic grass has a certain ability that other grasses traditionally do not have.
Well,thickening SAMO grass produces runners (underground rhizomes) through which it grows.New tufts of grass grow next to the released runners, and their number is constantly increasing. Thanks to this, you can getextremely dense lawn without the need to re-seed

Even if some tufts of grass die due to unfavorable conditions, new tufts of grass will grow thanks to the underground layers of SAMO grass to replace the drying ones. After sowing the SAMO thickening grass, we obtain a lawn capable of self-regenerationand with time more and more dense. Without the need for additional seedings. The pictures below show the effect of the lawn becoming compacted by itself.

How to get a quick seeding effect?
First of alllawns sown from SAMO thickening grass winter much betterthan traditional lawns and are perfect for the Polish climate. What we see in spring, before we start regenerating the lawn after winter, looks much better than in the case of traditional grasses.
Moreover, thethickening grass SAMO sprouts 2 times faster than traditional grasses(you can expect it to emerge after just 7 days, instead of 14).The effect of additional fertilization made with SAMO thickening grass is therefore noticeable much faster .
SAMO thickening grass has the ability to germinate at temperatures 2-4 ° C lower than ordinary grassesThis allows sowing it in early spring, in less favorable weather conditions.When it warms up, we will have our lawn ready, while traditional grass has just started to sprout.
Good to know!
SAMO thickening grass seeds do not need to be sown as densely as regular grass. Over time, the grass produces rhizomes and the lawn will self-thicken. This makesSAMO thickening grass approximately 25% more efficient than regular grass .
To sum up,filling the holes in the lawn with SAMO thickening grass, we gain the following benefits :
- The seeding effect can be seen much faster
- The resulting lawn is very dense and resistant to adverse conditions
- Grass has the ability to regenerate itself and becomes more dense with time
- We avoid the need to perform further additional seedings in the future
Such a dense lawn only with SELO-thickening grass!
