A garden would not be complete without a lawn. It is the perfect place to relax and play with the whole family. The lawns green colour provides an excellent foil to complement the plants and the hard landscaping, such as the walls and paving.
Lawns play an important role in our daily lives by absorbing and preventing the leaching of nutrients, oxygenating the air, preventing erosion by absorbing and filtering rainfall, groundwater and stormwater run-off. Lawns also absorb as much carbon dioxide as trees, reduce air and noise pollution and dissipate heat to reduce the temperature of the surrounding areas. Most kids love to run barefoot on the grass, to kick a footy or play cricket on the lawn while many of us still love to throw a picnic rug on the lawn. So there is no excuse not to include a lawn in your garden.
So what does it take to get a great looking lawn? The answer is easier than you think! Scotts Lawn Builder + Wetting Agent. Spring is the time to apply a wetting agent here in WA so that you don’t waste a drop of water or valuable nutrients when your lawn needs it the most. Scotts Lawn Builder + Wetting Agent is suitable for all lawn types as it reduces water-run-off and promotes a deeper root system so that less watering is required and your lawn will become more tolerant of drought conditions.
This slow release granular fertiliser with added professional grade wetting agent helps water permeate into the soil and be absorbed whilst also increasing the uptake of nutrients. Scotts Lawn Builder + Wetting Agent should be applied three times per year in early spring, early summer and autumn to prepare your lawn for the dry periods ahead. Plus it is safe for the kids and the family pets!
Scotts Lawn Builder is an environmentally friendly slow release fertiliser that contains Scotts patented timed-release Nitrogen and all the nutrients required for a healthy lawn. The nutrients are released at about the same rate that the grass roots can take up the fertiliser so there is no wastage, run-off to the waterways or surge growth and the added Iron provides a quick green up for your lawn.
The quick and easy way to spread Lawn Builder is to use a Scotts Spreader, which takes the guesswork out of applying fertilisers. Just check out the spreader settings on the bag to easily apply the fertiliser at the correct rate. Lawn Builder will continue to feed your lawn for up to three months and it is safe on your lawn until it next rains or is watered in. For a quicker green up within two days apply to moist foliage, wait 24 hours, then water in thoroughly.
The EasyGreen Broadcast Spreader is ideal for larger gardens and one 4kg bag of concentrated Lawn Builder + Wetting Agent covers over 250 square metres or an average lawn three times. That’s a years worth for an average lawn in one small bag. For lawns surrounded by garden beds or pathways the precision application of the EvenGreen Drop Spreader is ideal to avoid overthrow and control exactly where the fertiliser is applied.
