Joe's Turf Tip:
What does NPK mean?

NPK stands for "Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium," which are the three nutrients that compose complete fertilisers. Nitrogen is a major part of chlorophyll and the green colour of your lawn. Phosphorus and Potassium play key roles in the growth of roots. You should use a starter fertiliser with an NPK ratio of around 5:6:6 for new lawns to help develop their roots. Once established, you should apply a complete fertiliser in Spring, Summer and Autumn. An NPK ration of 22:3:4 would be suitable.

Turf Tip:
What are the benefits of using wetting agents?

Wetting agents help water flow freely through your soil. Many Australian soils have poor water retention with some even repelling water. Wetting agents act similarly to detergents by breaking down soil coatings to increase water retention. This means that more water is available to your lawn. Depending on your soil profile, you may need to apply a wetting agent 2 – 3 times per year or more often.

Turf Tip:

What can I do about bare patches?

Bare patches in a healthy lawn can be caused by a number of problems. Common reasons your grass might be dying include pets urinating on your turf, constantly walking on the lawn and infestations of grubs or other pests. Fortunately, with a little effort most bare patches can be fixed easily by either reseeding or laying new turf.
