Steps To A Good Lawn
(How to make a lawn, repair one, and lay turf)

THE PROBLEM

Without feeding, lawns can be a sorry sight, especially after a wet Spring when most of the reserves of nutrients have been washed from the surface soil by heavy rains. To get your lawn back to a tip-top condition it needs a rich food that will help it to grow green and strong, developing a thick, lush texture that is a delight to look at.

Look for a feed that's high in nitrogen to encourage lush, green growth. EverGreen Complete has a high content of nitrogen for extra greening power. It's quick and easy to apply and gives triple action results; feeds, weeds and controls moss. For ultimate convenience, some packs come with a ready-to-use lawn spreader so it takes less than 10 minutes to treat the average size back lawn.

The nutrients you sprinkle over your grass don't have to be man-made chemicals, instead you can feed your lawn with EverGreen Organic Choice Lawn Food. The big box contains enough nutrients to feed an average sized lawn of 80 sq m using 100% recycled or naturally occurring materials. Your lawn will turn greener in just 7 days and stay that way for several weeks while it's encouraged to grow thick and lush.

THE SOLUTION

A good Lawn is the centre piece of any garden and it isn't difficult to achieve.

The Main steps are:

  • Regular cutting but not too heavy.
  • Regular edging and raking out of any Moss
  • Feed twice a year, late Spring and mid Summer, with a good quality Weed, Feed & Mosskiller
  • Apply a good Autumn Feed, containing Mosskiller, every Autumn

Grass grows constantly throughout the season and therefore consumes more minerals than almost any other plant so feeding is essential to replace those minerals lost from the soil.

Moss has become a major problem for Lawns in recent years as it can grow and reproduce faster than grass - hence the need to apply a Mosskiller regularly.

I hope you find these information sheets helpful as a basic guide.
