Dark Green Lawn Fertiliser - Non Toxic - High in Nitrogen Greens Grass Fast - Feeds for 90 Days - Child and Pet Friendly - Garden Lawncare Guy

Product Information

So let’s say you have the right grass with the dark shade of green you are looking for. You then need to make sure you are growing it in the right locations. For example, you won’t have much success having a warm-season grass type in a cold-season location and vice versa. The main issue you’ll come up against is your lawn will struggle to even stay alive, let alone turn a lovely dark shade of green. Provide Adequate Sunlight Coming in a 25 kg bag, the manufacturers (Sportsmaster) recommend spreading this fertiliser at a density of 40 g/m². It can be spread either by hand, or using a rotary/drop spreader, as long as you can ensure an even application. When used at the recommended rate, one 25 kg bag should cover an area of approximately 600 m²– more than suitable for most large lawns. Pre-turf fertilisers contain less nitrogen than regular lawn feeds but are high in phosphorus which is the nutrient responsible for root development and growth

Regular garden fertilisers are often high in nitrogen (the nutrient responisble for green growth) however, for new grass seed and turf this isn’t what we want. Unfortunately, you won’t find a bag of dark green grass fertilizer down at the box store’s landscaping section, but you will find products like Ironite and Milorganite. Any of these types of lawn supplements or fertilizers will help you achieve that dark green look you are going for. Whilst the rest of the lawn treatment turned out well, there was a few patches where I’d dropped excessive fertiliser on the lawn, over applied it and killed the grass! The priority for new grass is to develop a healthy root system so it can access it’s own nutrients and water from the soil not.Ideally, you should fertilise in the Summer to protect against dry periods and intensive use. But seasons are unpredictable in the UK, so you may reasonably expect a warm, balmy Autumn.We recommend the final feed of the year at the end of the autumn before the temperature drops below 5 degrees and the plant goes into its winter dormancy. Which lawn feed do you need? Along with nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, this grass feed also contains iron (to help fight moss) and magnesium oxide. If you’re more interested in visible, fast results for summer, you could choose a lawn feed with an even higher ratio of nitrogen, like 11-5-5. Applying Granules or Liquid Fertiliser

For start fertiliser it is recommended to include a high phosphorus content to develop strong and healthy roots When should I fertilise new grass If you think your lawn is getting too much water because of poor drainage, consider adding a lawn drain or a french drain. If your lawn is having a tough time turning dark green because of excess water, then either of these types of drainage will help. The granules are easy to distribute, and can be used with spreaders to make the process easier. After application, this lawn feed is relatively high maintenance – requiring a lot of water to ensure that the nutrients are absorbed into the ground as intended. Although it depends on the type of lawn you have and what condition it’s in, an easy rule to adhere to is feeding once each season or even just once a year with a slow-release fertiliser. If you opt for the former, your feeding schedule might look like this: Whether hoping to fix a sparse lawn or trying to revitalise dead grass, when lawns are in desperate need of attention, reliable and fast-acting products can make all the difference. Miracle-Gro is a well-renowned company for a reason, and their Water Soluble Lawn Food is easy to apply with a sprayer or watering can, often creating visibly greener lawns in just three days.Garry, another lawn expert, says, “for customer jobs we apply the pre-seed fertiliser first then immediately after the grass seeds or turf, then water it in well” Seaweed has long been used as a soil improver, thanks to its natural content of nitrogen, potassium and phosphates. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this liquid seaweed stimulant from Plantworks contains organic seaweed extract that improves plant development by increasing chlorophyll production. The feed also contains extra iron from sustainably harvested kelp extract. The NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) ratio is 6-9-6, and the high phosphorus content is what helps this product better promote the health of germinating seeds compared to other lawn feeds. Nitrogen is responsible for leaf growth, and potassium encourages plants to grow and function correctly. It’s a product that helps preserve the natural appearance of the lawn, for those gardeners who like having daisies and clover poking through as well. Miracle-Gro EverGreen improves the health of the grass but doesn’t contain any weed killing properties.

Finally, there are some lawn feeds that are mixed with grass seeds so that once weeds and moss are cleared from your lawn, new grass seeds have space to take root and fill the spaces left. ConclusionTo meet those deficiencies and ensure the best results, you have to put down the pre-seed Fertiliser and do so before you sow the seeds or lay your new turf.
