Improve your lawn before summer!
With spring in full swing and summer just around the corner, now is the time to head outside and give your lawn a new lease on life!
Weed
If your weeds are out of control, it’s a good idea to remove them before doing any other lawn maintenance. If your lawn is turf like Sir Walter, Buffalo or Kikuyu, you are best to use Lawn Lover’s Buffalo Weed Control. Another option is using a weed grabber or grandpa weeder to remove the weeds by hand. With whatever treatment you choose, you may need to treat your lawn a couple of times, as the weeds have plenty of moisture to keep them going at this time of year.
Feed
Once the weeds are under control, it’s time to feed your lawn. Seasol is a complete garden health treatment that is great for root stimulation and easy to apply. We have a 1.25 litre Seasol concentrate available, which is a great way to get value for money. Apply Seasol every four to six weeks to keep your lawn green and healthy – and don’t worry if you get it on the plants – they will love it too!
Fertilise
About two to three weeks after the Seasol application, it’s time to fertilise. Whether your lawn is turf or grown from seed, you can use the same fertiliser. Granular Sir Walter fertiliser comes in two sizes, either a 4kg or 10kg tub. We also stock a Professional Turf Fertiliser which comes in either 2.5kg or 8kg bags. The size of your lawn will dictate what size tub or bag you need. Grow Better’s Organic Fertiliser is another option, which comes in four sizes and is a good all round fertiliser for the entire garden. No matter which fertiliser you use, make sure you spread it evenly over the lawn and water in well.
