How to establish your Turf?
ENSURE A HEALTHY START FOR YOUR NEW TURF
Use these essential guidelines to get your new turf off to a strong start. Proper establishment is essential for a healthy, beautiful lawn.
When establishing a new lawn, people often overlook the importance of good quality soil. The right soil will give your Kikuyu lawn the best possible start and help to prevent nutrient deficiencies and water problems. We strongly advise incorporating Bentontite Clay into sandy Perth soils. Bentonite is a natural clay product with no added chemicals, it provides long term benefits for water and fertilizer efficiency which saves you money and time. To have the best outcome for your Kiyku lawn, Bentonite needs to be incorporated into your soil with organic matter like humus.
Kikuyu lawn has a short establishment time. Where other lawns could take up to two years to fully establish, Kikuyu can take only three months. This means that for areas where traffic cannot be avoided you will have a shorter waiting period before being able to use the lawn.
If you are purchasing Kikuyu for a high traffic area it is recommended to reduce the traffic for the first 4 weeks. In the warmer months Kikuyu should establish quickly, however it is still important to monitor wear and tear during this early period.
Lawn should not be mowed until rolls have produced adequate roots. This should happen between 2 and 4 weeks and can be confirmed by checking that the rolls have secured themselves to the soil.
How to maintain your turf?
KEEP YOUR LAWN LOOKING LUSH AND GREEN
Follow these expert tips to keep your lawn looking lush and green. Regular maintenance ensures that your turf remains healthy and vibrant all year round.
Weekly mowing is essential as with any well looked after Kikuyu lawn in warmer months, however in cooler months, fortnightly is often enough. In winter and if your lawn is in a shady area, it should be allowed to grow longer to be able to absorb more sunlight. Never remove more than one third of the leaf blade per mow, as this will remove a significant amount of the green food producing body.
All lawns produce thatch as this is a natural byproduct of healthy growth. Thatch will prevent water and nutrients from getting to the roots where they are needed. This can be removed through verti-mowing and should be done at least once a year.
For establishing or repairing of turf, the application should be 5kg per 50m2 of Eco-Growth’s Eco-Prime Red fertiliser which contains plenty of Phosphorus (in the form of non-leaching rock phosphate) lawn fertiliser.
For optimum health of your lawn, it is recommended to fertilise at a maintenance rate of 5kg per 100m2 every 6-8 weeks for 6 months after installation and every 12 weeks thereafter.
Remember, always water thoroughly to activate the fertiliser and prevent any possible leaf burn.
