Can you apply starter fertiliser and grass seed at the same time?

Nearly ready to sow our new lawn. We will apply starter fertiliser. Do we need this on much ahead of seeding or can we do it immediately before the seed? Do we need to water it in before we seed or can we apply starter then seed then water in before meso and etho. Thanks

    Apply NZLA Starter immediately before seeding. There's no need to apply it days in advance or water it in separately. Spread your starter fertiliser, sow your grass seed, apply your pre-emergents (depending on seed type), then water everything in. This is all covered in the NZLA renovation guide.
