G'day, legends! If you're eager to find out the optimal time to fertilise your Aussie turf, I've got you covered. In this comprehensive guide, we'll unveil the secrets behind achieving a lush, vibrant lawn.
- Fertilising Warm-Season Grasses: Embrace the start of every season. When it comes to warm-season grasses like Buffalo, Couch, Kikuyu, and Zoysia, timing is everything. While springtime, from September to November, marks the beginning of the growth season and the birds are chirping, and the sun's rays are shining brighter than your future, we recommend fertilising at the start of all seasons. Spring is like a fresh start for your turf, so give it a proper wake-up call. For an extra boost, fertilise in early summer, around December, to keep your lawn thriving all season long. The one thing we do for our autumn and winter fertilizer is switch to a more balanced fertilizer with a higher amount potassium and phosphorus this with help with overall plant heath and root development through the cooler months. You don’t want to over apply nitrogen when the grass is naturally slowly down.
- Cool-Season Grasses: Autumn and Spring Thrive-Time. Now, if you've got cool-season grasses like Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, or Ryegrass, they flourish during milder seasons. Autumn, from March to May, is the perfect time to fertilise, as your grasses prepare for winter and focus on root development. Spring, from September to November, provides another opportunity for fertilisation as the grasses rebound from winter dormancy and embark on a growth spurt.
Remember:
- Opt for slow-release fertilisers to keep your lawn nourished over an extended period, just like savouring a long weekend.
- Always read the instructions on the fertiliser packaging. It's not rocket science, but a little bit of know-how goes a long way.
- Water your lawn after fertilising. Hydration is key.
- Every region in Australia has its unique climate and requirements. To ensure you get the most accurate advice, consult local resources and gardening experts. They can provide specific dates and recommendations based on your location, grass type, and local weather patterns.
Note: For the best results, always consider the specific requirements of your lawn type and the recommendations provided by lawn care experts in your region.
