How do you keep your current lawn healthy in winter - do this now...
Fertilise
Fertilising your lawn now with a slow release granular fertiliser. Your warm season varieties will never really go fully dormant and will continue to grow but at a much slower rate. It’s for this reason, that the grass still has the capacity to take up some nutrients which will be beneficial for keeping it strong through winter.
Pre-Emergent Herbicide Application
Lawn Solutions OxaFert Herbicide & Fertiliser is a pre-emergent herbicide for control of many annual grasses and broad-leaf weeds in warm season turf. The idea of using a pre-emergent herbicide is to target weed seeds before they take hold by forming a barrier at soil level that affects the germination of any new seedlings. Spreading Oxafert out now will give your lawn protection for up to 3 months from winter weeds.
ColourGuard
ColourGuard is a natural organic grass colourant that strengthens and protects grass under extreme conditions and instantly restores the colour by providing natural green pigment back into the grass leaf. ColourGuard applied now will improve your lawns colour and help to protect the leaf from the cold and frost.
