Healthy grass and lawn care tips with Yates

After the heat of summer forces your lawn into survival mode, the temperate conditions of autumn bring it back to quick-growing life. Now is the time to give it seasonal lawn care love, clearing the way for new growth (by targeting weeds and pests) and giving your lawn the nutrients it needs to thrive.

How to protect and repair a lawn

Yates takes the hard work out of lawn care, offering easy ways to:

• Encourage healthy soil by feeding your lawn with nutrients
• Protect against grubs and other insects that eat your grass
• Use weed and feed to target broadleaf weeds.

Whether you’re a turf nurturer with a dedicated routine, or a novice gardener with limited time to spare, a great-looking lawn is well within reach.

How to encourage healthy lawn growth

Gorgeous grass grows from good soil, so first, address what lies beneath. A gentle feed with Yates Dynamic Lifter Lawn Food & Soil Improver provides all the nutrients turf needs to thrive – plus, it encourages earthworms and soil micro-organisms for sustained lawn health. Simply cast the granules across the grass and water them in – or, if rain is expected, let nature do the watering. Make the job easier by using the new Yates Click & Grow Garden Care System – the dual-purpose hose trigger can be used for general watering, or click in a pouch of Yates Dynamic Lifter Click & Grow Lawn Food & Soil Improver and pull the trigger for an accurate dose.

How to get rid of bindii and other weeds

A lush lawn can face competition from opportunistic weeds, but an application of Yates Weed ‘n’ Feed Hose-On Lawn Weed Killer & Lawn Fertiliser will show them who’s boss. Designed for maximum results with minimum effort, it ticks two boxes with one application: targeting broadleaf weeds like bindii, clover, dandelion and thistles, while delivering a nourishing boost of nutrients, sorting all your basic lawn TLC in minutes.

For all other lawns, choose the convenient Weed ‘n’ Feed Click & Grow Weed Killer & Lawn Fertiliser – it’s the first step to a beautiful yard without stress, guesswork or mess.

Keep in mind...

• After applying fertiliser around edible plants, delay harvesting for a few days and rinse well before cooking and eating.
• If using products to deal with pests, diseases or weeds, always read the label, follow the instructions carefully and wear suitable protective equipment.
• Store all garden chemicals and products out of reach of children and pets.
