How to Apply Fertiliser
Granular fertilisers are one of the most popular options. They are generally easier to apply and will provide nutrients to your lawn over a longer period as the granule will release nutrients to the lawn slowly.
Before application:
- Measure the area size you want to treat. This will allow you to apply the correct amount of product to the area size.
- Ensure the grass is not wet or damp before application, as it is best applied to a dry lawn.
- Avoid application in the middle of the day, during the warmer months. Apply in the morning or afternoon to help prevent possible burning of the leaf
- We recommend using a fertiliser spreader like the ICL Hand Held Spreader. This will help ensure you are evenly applying the granules over the area and will help avoid over-application.
- Alternatively, you can spread the granule out by hand. When applying by hand, it is best to use a smooth hand motion to disperse the granules.
- Walk in a crisscross pattern when spreading the granules. This will aid in even coverage. When spreading the granules out, it is also best to keep the application rate in mind to avoid over-application.
- Ensure you irrigate the lawn immediately so that the granules are watered into the profile to avoid burning your lawn.
