What it does
To achieve a low maintenance, healthy, green lawn that will handle heavy foot traffic, all things need to be in balance. If left unattended, imbalances will adversely affect the health of your lawn. Symptoms that show an imbalance may be present are yellowing or mottled leaves, unthrifty growth or the presence of lawn grubs.
Lawn Blend is able to enhance the growth of all lawns, as it not only feeds your lawn, but conditions the soil as well. This is achieved through Lawn Blend’s ability to improve soil structure and provide the ideal environment for earthworm activity. This naturally encourages better lawn growth.
MORE THAN JUST A FERTILISER
Lawn Blend has similar abilities to Gypsum and Dolomite, in that it will reduce sodium levels in the soil profile, adjust and maintain pH while increasing the sweetness and friability of the soil. Other benefits of Lawn Blend include the ability to increase root structure, improve soil moisture retention and enhance the moisture-nutrient exchange between the soil and the lawn’s root system. As you would understand, by improving the root structure of the lawn, its ability to access nutrient is increased and is therefore more able to withstand adverse conditions.
THAT THICKER, SOFTER FEEL
Lawn Blend contains a blend of minerals, microbes, nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, sulphur and trace elements that are known to assist in improving lawn growth. Increased resistance to disease and insects is achieved due to the improved nutrient uptake and enhanced health of the soil and lawn. When Lawn Blend is applied, instead of forcing the grass to grow upright (excess nitrogen) more lateral growth is encouraged. This lateral growth increases the number of leaf blades present and gives lawns that lush, softer, thicker feel.
THE WEAR FACTOR
You no longer need to worry about the “wear factor”. Concerns about foot traffic is a thing of the past as Lawn Blend provides the correct balance of nutrients to provide cellular strength. The lawn will become harder wearing, resulting in less wear in high traffic areas.
Where and when to use it
FROM SEED
Garden Mate and Lawn Blend applied and incorporated one week prior to seeding will create the ideal environment for seed germination. Also promotes a healthier, more robust root system and stronger thicker leaf growth.
NEWLY LAID TURF
Encourages root growth to go deeper to access more moisture and nutrients to reduce the period of stress and increases your lawn’s ability to withstand adverse conditions and heavy foot traffic. Also encourages earthworm activity within the root zone, which enhances nutrient availability. Discourages the presence of lawn grubs.
LAWN MAINTENANCE
Feeds and conditions established lawns, whilst promoting increased lateral growth. Less water will be required to keep your lawn looking fresh and healthy.
How often to use it
3 times per year minimum, more often if necessary
