LAWNS: New lawns can be laid or sown throughout spring. Use a fresh layer of lawn top dressing 50mm thick under new rolls of turf & keep well watered.

• Spray early September for prevention of Bindii
• Do not cut lawns to low (regular cutting is beneficial)
• Feed established lawns with either No 17, Munn's golf course green or Organic life granular. (water in well after application)
• Our landscape service provides laying of new lawns, topdressing & a spraying service upon request.

MULCHING: Ideal time to mulch your garden with a 50mm layer of either Lucerne , sugarcane, pea-straw or a fine grade pinebark . Be careful applying any form of mulch containing woodchip, being the inside of the tree it will draw nitrogen out of your soil.

Mulching will help your plants with water retention whilst keeping the soil cool & weed free.Lucerne & pea-straw are high nitrogenous feeders.
