A good lawn fertiliser is an essential part of lawn care. It's simple to apply, inexpensive and helps you create a great looking lawn.
HOW TO FERTILISE
-
Work out the area of your lawn (length x width). You need 3kgs of fertiliser for 100sqm.
-
Apply the correct amount of fertiliser evenly to a dry lawn. Using Earthway fertiliser spreader is the best method. See our range of Earthway Spreaders here.
-
Fertiliser needs to be watered in soon after application. Use around 4mm of water or enough to irrigate the fertiliser prill into the thatch and off the leaf.
-
Be careful to sweep off all hard surfaces before irrigating as products can stain.
-
Fertilise a minimum of four times a year. Usually twice in Autumn and twice in Spring.
WHICH FERTILISER TO USE
Use our Landscape Range All Season Reno Fertiliser (N:P:K 22:5:7) for all established lawns. An application will last around 4-6 weeks.
Our Landscape Range Gold Pro Fertiliser (N:P:K 22:3:4) is for use when frequent rain or watering strips nutrients through the soil. It will provide a steady release of nitrogen over an extended period.
For added iron look to our Professional Grade Best Nitrex Fertiliser (N:P:K:I 20:0.85:2:5)
A Starter Fertiliser is essential when establishing a new lawn from seed, oversowing your existing lawn or getting your instant turf off to a good start. With a new lawn, apply a Starter Fertiliser at establishment then fertilise again approximately 4- 6 weeks after sowing. View our Landscape Range KickStart Fertiliser (N:P:K 5:6:6) here.
Some final tips for fertilising:
- Where possible apply your Fertiliser in two directions, dividing your fertiliser to ensure even coverage.
- It’s always best to apply to a dry area then water in well once you have completed the job.
