Lawn Fertiliser
Lawn food is a well-balanced fertiliser containing a high rate of nitrogen to promote dense leaf growth, and adequate amounts of phosphorus and potassium to generate root growth and help reduce coarse grasses, weeds and moss.
N = Nitrogen: (13) Nitrogen generates rich, thick green growth in all plants.
P = Phosphorus: (2) Phosphorus stimulates quick seed growth, root formation and quickens maturity.
K = Potassium: (2) The “Plant Medicine” – Protects against disease, maintaining overall plant health and also promotes strong flower growth.
How to use Lawn Fertiliser
When Planting
For new lawns, before seeding or turfing, spread Gypsum 40-50 Kg per 30 square metres. If the soil contains heavy clay, this will need to be increased up to 140Kg per 30m2. Gypsum will break up clay so as to allow air and water movement before planting. Blood & Bone fertiliser can also be used as a pre-planting slow release fertiliser.
For established lawns spread over lawn from end to end and then from side to side, so that a fine film covers the whole area at approx. 25g per square metre. Water well immediately after application to avoid burning.
