Just like us humans, lawns need regular food to look their best, stay healthy and support all that new growth and beautiful green colour. Follow Nigel’s tips on how to fertilise and irrigate your lawn for fantastic results.
Feeding your lawn
Get the food right and you are in business with a fast-acting liquid feed of Seasol for Lush Green Lawns. It is easy to use – just click it into the hose, turn on the water and away you go!
Being a liquid means it’s absorbed through the leaves straight away. It feeds and revitalises the lawn, stimulates growth, enhances foliage colour, promotes strong, healthy root development and reduces stress from heat, drought, frost and foot traffic. It also conditions the soil, increases soil friability, reduces nutrient leaching, and stimulates beneficial soil microbes. Plus, it gets water to where the lawn needs it the most, the root system.
There is also the buffalo formula that is safe to use on all lawns, but is tweaked with more potassium for enhanced and stronger leaves in buffalo lawns.
Regular fortnightly or monthly applications will promote a healthy, lush green lawn.
Irrigating your lawn
Lawns look their best with regular watering, especially through summer. Less frequent, deep watering encourages deeper roots. This also applies to your garden plants.
Early morning or evening watering reduces water loss through evaporation, protecting our most precious resource.
Sandy soils absorb and drain water quickly, so they generally need more water. It’s the opposite with clay soil, to avoid flooding, you may need to water over a few shorter sessions to fill the soil profile.
