A: Satugran wetting agent is a product designed to improve water penetration and distribution in the soil. It reduces water repellency in hydrophobic soils (a wax-like effect cause by dying plant natural oils being releases onto the soil), ensuring water reaches the roots of all grass plants in your lawn, more effectively. If we were to create an analogy for a wetting agent.... Imagine dripping water onto a piece of paper. You'd expect it to absorb into the paper. Now, if we melted a candle on the page and spread it out, the water drops would simply run off to the nearest absorption point. These waxy areas could be causing dry spots in your lawn. Wetting agents break down this later and allow water to get to all grass plants.

A: The best time is to apply a wetting agent is during dry periods to maximise water efficiency. Lawns that are particular prone to dry spot reoccurrence may want to apply pre-emptive treatments from spring onwards. We include Satugran Wetting agent in the Advanced Lawn Care plan, and send it out at the time you need to apply it.

A: It's the same as any other granular lawn treatment. Cast the granules evenly over your lawn using a fertiliser spreader and water in once applied.

A: Yes. Satugran Wetting Agent does not overlap in terms of nutrients provided to your lawn, so they can be applied at the same time. A wetting agent may even improve the results of the fertiliser by allowing nutrients to be absorbed more evenly across your lawn. Do not mix different lawn products though. Differing prill (granule) sizes will cause uneven distribution. Apply one product, then the other.

A: Granular wetting agents have longer lasting effects, which is perfect for the principles of our lawn care plans. Satugran also include a 'zeolite carrier' within the granule which catches and slowly release nutrients and water at the root zone... making it the perfect complimenting treatment to any lawn treatment plans.
