AUTUMN fertalisation
As the temperatures cool down in early autumn, (MARCH) your lawn shifts its focus from top growth to root development.
Applying a balanced fertiliser at this time will help strengthen the roots, making your grass more resilient in the coming months.
FERTALISATION FROM .40 cents per metre
Black Beetle / Army Grubs
Army grubs can decimate an entire lawn within days.
Treat your lawn with a knock down application, followed by a second residual application 5 days later.
Spray for lawn grubs in late spring / early summer (september - December) This is when grubs are susceptible to pesticides being in their earliest developmental stage.
CORE AERATION
You can aerate at any time of the year, but if you do so in the cooler months just keep in mind the grass won't cover over the aerated holes as it is dormant.
Always try to aerate at the same time you are fertilising or performing any other major lawn care operation such as dethatching and top dressing.
Wetting Agents
A wetting agent is like a detergent or surfactant that attracts water to the soil’s surface. Applying a wetting agent will help the water soak into the soil, making the water available to your lawn’s roots. It will help increase the soil’s ability to hold nutrients and help increase the drought tolerance of your lawn so it can sand up to the hot summer days.
Different types of wetting agents
Soil wetting agents are available as granules, liquid concentrates, and hose on bottles.
When do I need to apply a wetting agent?
If your lawn is suffering from dry patches or is hydrophobic a wetting may be needed.
Hydrophobic lawns will pool water at the soil’s surface and will struggle to let the moisture soak down into the soil base. Dry patches or heat stressed turf can present in patches rather than across the whole lawn.
Wetting agents are best applied when the temperatures are cooler, either in the morning or afternoon. Repeated applications can be made every few months on an as needed basis.
