If you squeeze the bottle it’ll fill the cap up and as you can see in my video below I’m putting the required 240 ml of liquid into the filler. It’s not just about attending to the nutritional demands of your lawn, you need to care for the microorganisms and overall soil health too. In a forest, this happens naturally when dead flora and fauna break down, but in a tidy garden that doesn’t happen. While I can’t prove that it negatively affected root growth, I know that such high nitrogen concentrations cause plants to grow leggy and don’t do much for root development.

This issue of fertiliser use, soil degradation and water pollution has certainly come to the fore in recent years. The intensification of land use on the commercial scale has led to more fertilisers being used. The main ingredients in fertilisers are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These elements are essential to plants but in excess, they degrade the quality of soil and leach or run off into waterways and have dire effects there. They don’t hit the grass with a sudden jolt of feed, but they release the food over 60 or so days, so they are best used as a lawn maintenance product for busy gardeners or those with huge gardens. The same applies to the humble residential lawn. Presumably, you wish to maintain your soil quality and not have a destructive impact on your local environment. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you choose effective, sustainable fertilisers for your lawn.Hi Nik, thanks for getting in touch. The easiest way to get a liquid from the seaweed is to use a garden shredder to break up the material, then half fill a barrel with the shredded seaweed. Fill the barrel to the top with water, hot water will speed up the breakdown of the seaweed but cold will work fine. Amino acids: Seaweed extract provides a source of amino acids, which can be directly absorbed by plants, enhancing protein synthesis and supporting various growth processes.

This organic product, obtained from sustainably sourced seaweed, offers an array of benefits for gardeners seeking to optimise plant growth while minimising ecological impact. If you want a really beautiful lawn that will add value to your property and make your neighbours jealous, then bringing a thrice yearly application of organic growth enhancer into your lawn care regime will definitely help you to achieve that. (Provided of course that you don’t neglect mowing, feeding and annual renovation work) Remember that at its core, a healthy lawn is the result of healthy soil. It’s important to feed the soil an abundance of micronutrients and regularly replenish the beneficial ingredients that make your soil alive.
