Over Seeding

Overseeding is simply the spreading of grass seed directly over an existing turf to fill the bare spots, refresh growth in certain sections, or renovate the entire yard.

The BLEC Multi Seeder 2 has been designed to carry out both over seeding and new seeding.

The Multi Seeder is a 3-point linkage unit equipped with 2 special cast spike ring rollers. Fitted with individual cast spike rings, which can revolve around an inner tube. Both rollers are mounted in a pivoting frame to allow both rollers to follow contours in the ground at all times.
An adjustable link bar is fitted so the operator can adjust the front roller down lower for more penetration.
The spike castings penetrate the ground, producing tapered holes ready to accept the grass seed. Both spike rollers punch approximate 1500 holes per square metre saturating the surface with “flowerpot holes”.

The seed hopper is fitted with a stainless-steel metering sections mounted in the bottom, which are adjustable via a screw adjuster and cam gauge allowing seed rates of between 3-50gms/m2
An agitator, either a steel rotor or rotary brush (for bent grasses) is driven via the front roll, to feed the seed through the holes. A hydraulic seed shut off mechanism is fitted for ease of operation.
The grass seed is spread the full width of the machine, with seed falling in the holes and also in between. A drag brush sweeps the seed into the holes.
The operation is made complete by a rear smooth roller which firms up the surface, pressing down the seedlings and as extra drag brush mounted behind the rear smooth roller for extra good seed incorporation.
The Multi Seeder is designed for working on ground that is made soft, via moisture or aeration, to allow the spikes to penetrate.
