Size: 4KG
Main product features
Scotts Lawn Builder™ Plus Organics has the best of both worlds -slow-release lawn fertiliser with the added benefits oforganics. It's an all-purpose lawn food that promoteslush, green lawnsby creating a balanced and sustainable growing environment above and below the soil
When to use
FEATURES
- Contains composted manure,seaweed, fish extracts and biostimulants to improve soil quality and lawn vigour
- Slow-release of nutrients eliminates waste through run-off and leaching and prevents burning and surge growth
- Traditional lawn foods release or 'dump' most of their nutrients within a couple of weeks of application, causing a rapid surge in growth that quickly drops off again as the food supply diminishes. Scotts Lawn Builder™ uses patented time-release technology to ensure nutrients are released slowly and continuously over a three month period
- Plus Organics is fortified with iron to promote lush green lawns
- Improves water retention in the soil and helps roots absorb nutrients faster and more efficiently. Better moisture penetration and retention aids in drought-proofing your lawn
SUITABLE FOR
- Safe to use on all lawns including buffalo, couch and kikuyu
- Also safe to use on grass alternatives such as dichondra (also known as pennywort or kidney weed), lippia, zoysia
NOT SUITABLE FOR
- Scotts Lawn Builder™ Plus Organics is not recommended for use on plants other than lawn grasses and lawn substitutes
- Do not use if the temperature is expected to exceed 30 degrees C or when lawns are stressed and the soil is dry
HOW IT WORKS
- Scotts Lawn Builder™ Plus Organics is a slow-release fertiliser that provides continuous nutrition over a two month period
- Plus Organics contains Scotts patented time-release nitrogen as well as organic nitrogen
- Nutrients are released at about the same rate that grass roots can take up the fertiliser so there is no wastage, run-off to waterways or damaging surge growth
HOW TO USE
How much will I need?
Plus Organics has two recommended application rates:
- Good results - apply at 36g/m2
- Best results - apply at 45g/m2
To work out how much you will need to fertilise your lawn:
- Calculate the area of the lawn in square metres (multiply the length by the width)
- The area multiplied by the application rate will give the exact amount of Scotts Lawn Builder™ you need
- Use a set of scales to weigh it accurately - do not be tempted to add a 'bit extra for luck' because over-application may result in nitrogen burning
| As a Guide | m2 |
|---|---|
| 1/4 Tennis court | 65 |
| 1/2 Tennis court | 130 |
| Full Tennis court | 260 |
Make sure you distribute the fertiliser as evenly as possible over the lawn - uneven applications may result in 'hot spot' burning where too much has landed in one spot. We do not recommend using a fertiliser spreader to apply this product because it may clog and/or damage the spreader
- Water in thoroughly after application
- If using to improve the soil before sowing or laying a new lawn, spread evenly over the area at the rate of 4.5kg per 100 square metres and then mix it into the top 10cm of soil
