Fertilising Tips
Use a slow-release fertiliser to provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs for steady growth and resilience during summer. Use the Super Green Controlled Release Fertiliser to provide all the needed nutrients all throughout the heat. If you are sowing a new lawn, use the Kickstart Fertiliser for an extra boost on the germination and growth of your lawn grass.

Warm-season grasses grow actively during spring and summer, establishing deep roots that help them retain moisture and recover quickly from wear and tear. If you want to create a lush, green lawn that can handle South Australia’s sunny climate, these varieties are your best bet.
