Scotts 49021 Turf Builder Lawn Fertilizer

Product Information

Using lawn feed is an excellent way to ensure we get that lush green lawn that we all want. It’s a goal that can otherwise be hard to achieve in the British climate! One of the most important things to consider is the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) in the lawn feed. The best lawn feed will have a NPK ratio that suits your garden’s needs – nitrogen encourages leafy growth, phosphorus helps establish roots and potassium helps with overall grass health. The best time to apply Scotts Turf Builder depends on the type of grass you have, the climate you live in, and the time of year. Apply Scotts® GrubEx® if you had a grub problem last year, spot an invasion of beetles in early summer, or know that a neighbor is fighting grubs. These pests munch their way through grass roots, resulting in dead patches in an otherwise healthy lawn. Time your application for before or just after grubs hatch, usually in late spring or early summer. 3. Water However, if the health of your lawn needs a bit more help than just a bi-annual feed application, you will probably want to choose a product without weed-killing properties.

The NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) ratio is 6-9-6, and the high phosphorus content is what helps this product better promote the health of germinating seeds compared to other lawn feeds. Nitrogen is responsible for leaf growth, and potassium encourages plants to grow and function correctly. Premium is phosphorus-free, which means it can be safely used anywhere in Australia without posing any risk to ground or surface water This fast-acting product consists of a combination of nutrients and slow-release fertilisers: the nutrients get to work specifically on lawn health, helping it become greener and healthier, whilst the fertiliser continues to feed the lawn for up to eight weeks. Scotts Turf Builder is a lawn fertilizer that makes grass dense and greener. It is effective on any type of grass, even for greening and feeding. This plant food has been formulated well with Scotts All-In-One Particles technology that offers your lawn the following benefits:

If you already own a fertiliser spreader, applying granular fertiliser to the lawn will be simple. Otherwise, liquid fertiliser may be an easier option – it can be applied with a watering can or garden sprayer . It’s a product that helps preserve the natural appearance of the lawn, for those gardeners who like having daisies and clover poking through as well. Miracle-Gro EverGreen improves the health of the grass but doesn’t contain any weed killing properties.

Scotts Turf Builder should be applied when the grass is damp, specifically after rain or during the morning dew. It works well when the temperature is between 65 and 90 degrees. For best results, fertilize your lawn in spring, summer, and fall. What is Scotts Turf Builder Good for? The best time to apply Scotts Turf Builder is in the spring and late summer in milder climates. But if you live in a colder climate area, then you only need to apply it once a year during the warmer months – and use Scotts Turf Builder with WinterGuard.This will help protect your lawn throughout the season. In hotter climates, it’s best to apply the fertilizer in the fall, when the temperatures are cooler and the grass is less likely to dry out. Grass Type Considerations Buffalo has a recommended application rate of just 16 grams per m 2, not the kilograms often associated with regular lawn foods! Liquid feeds need to be diluted with water. They should be applied to the lawn using a watering can with a fine rose or a liquid-fertiliser spreader. Do not use on St. Augustinegrass (including Floratam), Dichondra, Lippa, Carpetgrass, or Bentgrass. Slow-release of nutrients through controlled feeding eliminates waste through run-off and leaching and prevents burning and surge growth
