There is nothing better than an eye-catching, healthy green and weed free lawn.
But lawn care takes on several different areas, from initial ground preparation for new lawns through to weed prevention and ongoing maintenance.
Ensuring soil has sufficient drainage using Gypsum or Easy Wetta Soil Wetter is a great start to a new lawn or assisting with existing hydrophobic lawns (water sits on top when it rains).
Deciding to use Lawn seed and which one is suitable for your environment or laying turf. Once seeded or laid, maintenance becomes an important part of having a healthy and green lawn.
Established lawns should be feed 3 times a year – summer, autumn and spring. Winter is a dormant time for lawns to grow so only weed control such as Winter Grass, is required during this time. To get the maximum healthy lawn you can use Green Up granular or a slow release fertilizer which breaks down as you water or rain occurs.
Weed control is also important and there are several products available- both hose on or concentrate. But always check what type of lawn you have and if the product is suitable. You don’t want to kill the lawn with the wrong one.
Bindii and clover should be sprayed July/August before the flowers and bindi spikes appear.
Water regularly and you will be the envy of your neighbourhood.
