Turf grass needs to be fed to remain strong and healthy.
Use a complete slow release fertiliser in early April and any lawn type
fertiliser in early September. Twice per year is usually enough, except in
sandy soils, where at least 4 fertiliser applications per year are needed.
At other times of the year use a slow release fertiliser if the turf
needs more growth e.g. worn areas, pest problems etc. The new Lawn
BuilderTM products from Scotts® are easy and safe to use. If you need
a quick green up, use a fertiliser high in nitrogen to promote a lush
green lawn e.g. Supergreen or organic based slow release fertilisers.
In the heat of summer avoid over fertilising or using manure based products.
