When is the right time to fertilise my lawn?

Q.

My lawn was looking very lush before the heavy down pours of rain we have been experiencing. Is it time to fertilise and rejuvenate or not. 

Maxine Gribble

A.

  • Wait until early August before fertilising and rejuvenating your lawn.
  • In winter lawns aren't actively growing because the soil temperature is too cold, and so the grass won't take up the nutrients, it will just wash away.
  • In about another months time temperatures should start to warm up and frosts have hopefully disappeared.
  • In early spring, to rejuvenate your lawn, apply Tui LawnForce New Lawns fertiliser it contains a slow release source of nitrogen that stimulates growth and soil microbial activity, as well as encouraging healthy root growth. 
  • Strong healthy roots will tolerate summer extremes such as drought.
  • In late October, early November feed your lawn with Tui LawnForce All Purpose fertiliser for a lush green lawn.
