Autumn rolls around again in Australia and we can enjoy cooler days and nights in most states.
Here’s our Autumn to-do list for lawns…
- Fertilise twice for a boost before winter.
- Choose seed to sow new lawns and follow our lawn seed sowing instructions to get the best results.
- Apply an insecticide like Acelepryn to avoid grub attacks.
- Use a herbicide to tackle actively growing weeds.
VICTORIA
Due to temperatures dipping in the approach to Winter we recommend sowing Cool Season grasses in Victoria. Oversow your Buffalo or Couch lawn with a cool season blend. Also, fertilise now to get your lawn in tip top condition before it gets cold! See all recommendations for VICTORIA here.
NEW SOUTH WALES/ACT
Fertilise to get your lawn into better health then oversow with an all season blend or a frost tolerant cool season variety like Ryegrass. See all recommendations for NSW/ACT here.
TASMANIA
Stick to cool season grasses like Perennial Ryegrass and Tall Fescue in Autumn. These will go well in the colder months in Tassie. Fertilise twice before winter. See all recommendations for TASMANIA here.
QUEENSLAND
Use a range of warm and cool season grasses depending on your location in the North or South. If you have a cool winter use our cool season blends. Warmer location? You can look to warm season varieties or blends that have warm season grasses in them. Fertilise twice after the hot summer! See all recommendations for QUEENSLAND here.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Cooling down and preparing for winter. Fertilise your existing lawn and follow our suggestions for new lawn sowing and repairing. See all recommendations for SOUTH AUSTRALIA here
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Use a range of warm and cool season grasses depending on your location in the North or South. If you have a cool winter use our cool season blends. Warmer location?
