A: This fertiliser is designed to get all of its nutrients to the seed and roots as soon as possible. It will typically last 4-6 weeks, but this depends on a few factors such as grass type, weather conditions, whether you collect grass clippings or mulch, application rate, etc.
Grass seed has enough nitrogen to sustain itself in the early stages, but a good dose of phosphorus will help the roots establish deep and thick, allowing the grass to access moisture and nutrients
Apply Roots & Shoots Fertiliser at the same time (or a week either side) of seeding or laying new turf to improve the germination rate of new grass. A thicker, denser lawn from the start.
Roots & Shoots Pre-seed Fertiliser spreads evenly and quickly dissolves into the soil thanks to its tiny 1-2mm granule size. It will dispense its goodness into the soil in 4-6 weeks, meaning yoru grass get all the support it needs, fast!
