Suggested Seed for Spring in NSW/ACT

When it warms up following winter, you can go for it, guys! Further north in the state, it's a green light for sowing warm-season grasses. Watch watering requirements. Germinating seeds need damp soil continuously.

LAWN SOWING TIPS

Spring is "go-time" for lawns in NSW. After the cooler months, your turf is eager to burst into life. It's the ideal period for new growth, recovery from winter dormancy, and setting the stage for resilience against the upcoming summer heat. Spring is also the perfect time to oversow to improve existing lawns, especially by sowing 100% Couch and Kikuyu when it's hotter (early October or earlier if you're north of the state). Remember to keep soil consistently damp for better germination.

ESSENTIAL SPRING LAWN CARE TIPS FOR NEW SOUTH WALES: 

To ensure your lawn thrives this spring, follow these crucial steps:

1. Fertilise TWICE in Spring: This is non-negotiable for a healthy NSW lawn! Fertilising in early and late spring provides the necessary nutrients for strong growth, vibrant color, and improved resilience. Consider an Earthway Spreader for easy and even application.
2. Deal with Weeds & Pests Proactively:
   • Pests: Apply Acelepryn now to prevent destructive pests from taking hold. This is especially important as pest activity increases with the warmer weather.
   • Weeds: Tackle weeds that emerged over winter. For Buffalo lawns, use Bow and Arrow, a highly effective herbicide. For cool season lawns, Ravage is an excellent choice. Choose a herbicide from our range.
3. Consider Lawn Alternatives:
   • Dichondra: If you're looking for a low-maintenance lawn alternative, Dichondra is an excellent choice, offering a lush, carpet-like appearance.
4. Watering Wisely:
   • While NSW often experiences varied spring rainfall, supplement with deep, infrequent watering if needed.
