In contrast to conventional, mineral fertilisers, plant-based fertilisers need to first be broken down by microorganisms (the tiny inhabitants that make up a soil ecosystem). Only after that are the nutrients available to the lawn. This process requires sufficient water (don't forget to water regularly!) and also a bit of time. Our grass feed may not have the same instant effect that chemical alternatives do, but it has a steadier, longer-lasting and more sustainable effect. Our fertiliser also helps build up humus and improves the soil's water-holding capacity - essential for your lawn to be able to withstand periods of heat.
