How do I know when my lawn needs fertilizing?

A good indication of when your lawn needs fertilizing is when seed heads appear on your lawn or when your lawn looses its lush green colour. You should be fertilizing your lawn twice in spring time (September & October) and more importantly twice in autumn (March & April). In spring you can apply Shirley’s no.17 lawn food or a similar product. In autumn (March) apply Scott’s Lawn Builder and later in April a dynamic lifter product called Turf Lifter. Having a healthy lawn makes your lawn less susceptible to weeds.

Please Note: Fertilizing your lawn well in autumn will ensure you have a healthy lawn through the winter months.
