How to fertilise new lawn

All new lawns by reseedmylawnTM have organic base fertiliser to supply macro and micro nutrients long term. Newly sown ryegrass however, responds well to applied nitrogen, especially depleted sandbelt soils.

What fertiliser to buy for new lawn

We recommend Scotts Lawn Builder which is available at Bunnings and your local nursery. Lawnbuilder is available in regular, weed kill and other. Regular is ideal for topdressing 6-10 weeks after a new lawn establishment.  Go to the Scotts/lawnbuilder website for more information.

Lawn Builder Weedkill is in a yellow bag containing granular herbicide to control broad leaf weeds in cool season grass lawns. Do not use on warm season grass lawns. Most important is to follow the label recommendations.

It’s also a good idea to purchase a Scotts hand held spreader, available for around $25 from Bunnings.
