Private Lawn

This Nitrogen, Potash and Iron fertiliser helps to control moss and acts as a spring, start up tonic fertiliser.
 
2) End April Apply Prestige Outfield 12-6-10 Spring and Summer @ 35g/m².
Main summer granular fertiliser that will feed for approx. 8 weeks.
 
3) Mid May Apply Barclay Holster selective weedkiller @ 2 litres per hectare.
This very safe formulation controls all major turf weeds and is very safe; it can be applied 8 weeks after seed sowing. One application of this in the spring should give excellent results.
(Always read the label use pesticides safely.)
 
4) August Apply Prestige Outfield 10-10-14, autumn / winter fertiliser at 35g/m².
Main late summer/autumn fertiliser, strengthening the sward as you enter the autumn period. This fertiliser will feed for approx. 8 weeks.
 
5) October Apply Scotts 6-5-10 Greenmaster Autumn fertiliser @ 35g/m².
This product also includes 6% iron, which will hit the moss really hard going into the late autumn.
This product is optional, if moss is not a problem you can miss this out from the programme and put item 4 back by one month to September. If you are looking for the best results you should use this product in any case as a pure autumn/winter fertiliser.

Notes
If you follow this basic programme it will provide a quality all year fertiliser package, also covering moss control and general weedkilling.
A qualified gardener must apply the Holster weedkiller. Adequate care must be taken in getting both the timing and the application as accurately as possible.

As with all of our recommendations the application dates are approx. and as such are subject to the weather conditions that prevail at the time.

Pack coverage (fertilisers) 35g/m² = 1.4 bags per 1000m²
 
Holster weedkiller 2 litres per hectare = 100mls in 25 litres per 525m²

For more information on worm control or any other problems, please contact us. We only supply professional products manufactured to provide the very best results for all amenity requirements.
