Promote Essential Root Growth: During the autumn season, grass plants shift their energy from above-ground growth to root development. Applying fertiliser in the Autumn provides essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium that help strengthen and expand the root system. Stronger roots make your lawn more resilient to stressors like drought and winter frosts, leading to a healthier lawn in the spring.

Prepare for Winter: Fertilising in the Autumn also helps your lawn prepare for the harsh winter months. The nutrients provided by the fertilizer give the grass plants the reserves they need to endure the cold and potentially long periods of snow cover. This ensures that your lawn has a better chance of bouncing back in the spring with lush, green growth when the weather warms up. Equinox Autumn lawn feed is packed with Potassium (the K in NPK!) which makes the plant more resilient to disease brought on from stressors such as prolonged cold, foot traffic and frosts.

Weed and Moss Suppression: A well-fertilised lawn in the Autumn can help suppress the growth of weeds and moss. When your grass is healthy and thick, it leaves less space and resources for unwanted plants to establish themselves. This natural weed and moss control can reduce the need for chemical treatments in the spring and summer, promoting a more eco-friendly and low-maintenance lawn care regimen.
