Why Feed: The Magic of Fertilising Your Lawn
Have you ever envied that lush, green lawn down the street? The one that looks like it belongs on a magazine cover? Well, the secret’s out – it all comes down to fertilising. And guess what? It’s easier than you think.
Let’s dive into why feeding your lawn is the best thing you can do for your patch of green.
Why Fertilise?
The Grass is Greener (Literally) Fertilising is the simplest way to ensure your lawn not only looks amazing but also stays healthy and resilient. Here’s a few (essential) reasons why feeding your lawn is a game-changer:
Fight Weeds
Weeds are like those uninvited party crashers. They see a gap and move in fast. A healthy, dense lawn leaves no room for these intruders. And if a weed does sneak in, your strong grass will overshadow and outcompete it.
Copes Better with Climate Extremes
Scotts Lawn Builder fertilisers are packed with the right nutrients to build a robust lawn. Nitrogen promotes lush leaf growth, while potassium strengthens the grass’s cells, making it more resilient to extreme weather.
Conserves Water
A thick lawn acts like a sponge, trapping moisture and reducing evaporation. This means less watering for you and more water retained in the soil for your grass.
Boosts Soil Health
Healthy soil means a healthy lawn. Fertilisers feed not just your grass but also the beneficial microorganisms in the soil. These little helpers convert nutrients into forms your grass can absorb easily, promoting robust growth.
The Hidden Benefits of a Fertilised Lawn
When your lawn gets the right nutrients, it becomes a powerhouse of healthy growth. Here’s what happens below the blades:
- Stronger Grass: From the deepest roots to the leaf tips, a well-fed lawn is robust and resilient against pets, kids and other wear and tear.
- Pest Resistance: Healthier grass can fend off pests better, thanks to improved structural strength.
- Self-Repair: Your lawn can bounce back from physical damage, like kids playing or pets running around.
