As we transition from the vibrant Queensland Summer to the cooler Autumn months, it's crucial to give your lawn the attention it needs to thrive
In the quest for the perfect lawn, many gardeners turn to commercial fertilisers, often overlooking the powerful, natural alternatives right under our feet. Nature has been perfecting soil enrichment long before the advent of synthetic solutions. From the humble earthworm to the bounty of compost, natural fertilisers can transform your lawn into a vibrant, healthy oasis. Let’s explore how nature’s own methods can enhance your lawn care routine.
Though the warm weather in Queensland can mean some lovely summer days, it can also mean something a little pesky for your lawn - summer grass weeds.
If you did a hearty fertilise of your lawn in spring, it is likely due for another application. A majority of the common, slow release fertilisers will provide nutrients for your lawn for up to 12 weeks - this means that if you fertilised in early - mid spring, around this time is a great top-up choice.
With the start of December comes the start of summer, with rising temperatures and lots of outdoor activities in the gorgeous weather. Which means, lots of backyard fun on your lawn!
Although looking after your lawn may have some simple steps, many of us have been guilty from time to time of neglecting or forgetting to care for our turf.
Are you finding that your lawn isn’t growing as well as it should, and/or it isn’t responding to fertiliser? If so, it may be time to look at the pH level of your lawn’s soil.
Although it is easy to get a little carried away when it comes to organising a lawn reno – we know! – the best advice we can give you is to not go too early with any vigorous lawn maintenance activities. It is crucial to remember that your lawn needs to be actively growing and performing strongly during the warmer months before undertaking activities like top dressing or dethatching.
Contrary to popular belief, having a great looking lawn does not take a huge amount of time and money. Caring for your turf can actually be simple and easy, if you do the right things. Doing the right things means general lawn care is less time-consuming and you can get back to enjoying your yard!
