Fertilizing:
• Select a quality fertilizer and spreader.
• Read the package label for type, application timing and use.
• Select a slow nitrogen release fertilizer for consistent, controlled
feeding to promote strong root development.
• Calculate lawn coverage area before you start.
Mowing:
• Grass generally performs best when mowed at a higher setting
on your mower.
• Avoid scalping at all costs.
• Never cut off more than 1/3 of the grass length in a single
mowing.
• Keep your mower blade sharp.
• Mowing once a week is usually sufficient.
Watering:
• Lawns need about 2.5cm (1”) of water per week.
• A safe bet is to water each area for 30-40 minutes.
• Good watering every 3-4 days is better than a light sprinkling
every day; mornings are recommended.
• Signs your lawn needs more water: Grass turns slivery blue,
then eventually brown. Grass does not spring back after being stepped
on.
