After Moss: lawns will never be the same again
 

A common lawn complaint will be no more thanks to the latest product innovation from the UK’s leading lawn seed brand, Johnsons Lawn Seed.  Introducing After Moss. 

Unlike anything else on the market today, and completely unique to Johnsons Lawn Seed, After Moss Lawn Seed has been designed to deter the return of moss.  Utilising an innovative anti-moss seed coating made from calcium carbonate, After Moss can be sown on lawns where moss has been removed.  The calcium carbonate gently raises the pH level of the soil, creating an inhospitable environment for moss, allowing new grass to grow unhindered.

Guy Jenkins from Johnsons Lawn Seed said: “Moss has the ability to significantly impact the performance and overall look of a lawn.  Until now there has only ever been a handful of products designed to remove moss from a lawn, such as scarifiers or chemical based products, but nothing that addresses the long-term development of the lawn after the moss has been eradicated.  After Moss is unique in that it combines a 100% amenity dwarf perennial ryegrass mix with a specially formulated anti-moss coating, to deter moss whilst also establishing new grass growth.  Consumers are often very receptive to ‘all in one’ products and we’re extremely pleased to be able to offer retailers one unlike anything that has come before it.  We’ve no doubt of the profit and sales opportunity that After Moss will offer.”

After Moss – which will be available in 1kg cartons for just RRP £9.99 - will further bolster the existing Johnsons Lawn Seed product portfolio.  Like all products in the range, it will be supported with market-leading packaging, which will feature clear and concise information, including usage, establishment rate, and suitability for different types of lawn, plus easy to follow advice on how to sow a new lawn. 

To see After Moss Lawn Seed for yourself, and to find out more about the other exciting innovations being launched by Johnsons Lawn Seed at Glee, please visit the company on-stand in the new location of Hall 18, stand H26-K25.
