How Does Lawn Fertiliser Work?
The three primary nutrients in lawn fertiliser are Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium.
Working together, with the correct mixture, they significantly benefit the grass, promoting strong growth, excellent root development and health. Our fertiliser range is specially designed to slowly release nutrients over a 3-month period, perfectly timed for the next treatment to be applied, and they are all coated to help prevent scorching of the grass. Here is how each nutrient works.
What does Nitrogen do for my lawn?
- It Promotes strong growth in the leaf and stem, which is essential for a lush green - It improves the colour of the lawn by boosting chlorophyll production within the plant giving it a vibrant green colour.
- It Encourages the grass to recover from damage caused by heavy foot traffic or pets
- It increases the thickness of the lawn
What does Phosphorus do for my lawn?
- It promotes strong healthy roots, especially in younger grass
- It aids energy transfer allowing the grass to convert nutrients into usable energy
- It improves the stress resistance of the lawn such as drought or heavy usage
- It supports the establishment of new seed
What does Potassium do for my lawn?
- It increases the resilience of the plant
- It enhances resistance to common lawn diseases such as red thread - It regulates water retention helping the law retain moisture levels - It helps strengthen the cell walls of the plant
With the three nutrients working to complement each other the overall benefits are clear
- Consistent and balanced growth patterns, leaf stem and resilience
- Improved lawn appearance with a thicker, greener lawn
- Reduced maintenance needs as a healthy lawn requires less weeding and repairing
- The lawn will thrive in all conditions
In addition to the three main nutrients, each seasonal pack will contain other elements including Iron and Magnesium.
- What does Iron do for my lawn?
- It Is essential for chlorophyll production which is what gives the green colour
- It improves photosynthesis helping the grass absorb sunlight
- It helps avoid yellowing grass by rectifying any iron deficiency within the plant
- It aids health without stimulating growth
What does Magnesium do for my lawn?
- It is central component of chlorophyll helping the grass grow stronger
- It helps to improve nutrient uptake by aiding absorption
- It boosts stress relief
- Supports root development
