When looking for a lawn fertiliser over the summer months, it's important to look for an analysis with high Potassium (K). Potassium is an essential summer nutrient as it regulates water in lawns. Potassium promotes water translocation or the uptake of water from the roots into the lawn leaf blades while controlling water loss through the leaf blade stomata. This process and through the increase in potassium is how lawns can remain healthy through prolonged periods of high temperature.
Baileys have a number of commercial-grade products that will provide this protection while also providing essential macro, micro and trace nutrients.
Baileys Energy Turf is a great all-round lawn fertiliser with a high general analysis, essential trace and 30% organic base of Blood & Bone, Humates and added Zeolite. Energy Turf has been formulated as a homogeneous compound, meaning all the nutrients, Blood & Bone, Humates and Zeolite are embedded proportionately in each granule. This ensures uniform results while lasting longer than traditional NPK fertilisers. Combining the organic components into the granule allows the humates to increase Nitrogen uptake while providing a slow-release nutrient delivery from the Blood & Bone. The added zeolite acts like a sponge and holds onto the nutrients minimising leaching while amplifying the uptake of potassium. Energy Turf will also boost the colour of your lawn and create a dark green appearance from the Iron (0.9%), Magnesium (0.6%) and Manganese (0.8%) nutrients.
Repair your Lawn
If your lawn needs some TLC after heavy wear during the festive season, or a boost leading into or out of a heatwave, try Baileys TURFECT Lawn Repair. An analysis high in phosphorus, potassium and trace minerals and an array of bio-stimulants mean this 4-in-1 product provides a powerful blend of stress-fighting features to supports turf hardiness and recovery in summer.
Leading microbial technology is added to the formulation, along with humic acid and kelp to boosts native microbe populations, root growth, soil fertility and nutrient availability.
If you're looking to be the envy of your neighbours, family & friends or take your lawn striping to the next level, then Baileys Turfect Lawn Green is your secret weapon.
This foliar applied liquid fertiliser will provide exceptional deep green colour within 1 day of application. The high Iron analysis (6.4%) is the key nutrient providing dark green leaf blades. The added Manganese is important for nitrogen uptake, enzyme activation, and photosynthesis. As the formulation is in liquid form, it can be easily taken through the leaves. This provides a quick response while overcoming issues associated with high pH or alkaline soil.
A lush and healthy lawn needs access to water. As your lawn goes through the summer months the chances of dead or dry patches increase. These patches are usually a result of water not getting to the lawn root zone. Over time, soils can become hydrophobic or water repellent. Applying a wetting agent regularly ensures that your water is getting to where the lawn can access it.
Baileys Grosorb, available in either a granular or liquid form, provides superior water penetration and correction of hydrophobic soils. Grosorb is a concentrated formulation that provides long-lasting results. Independently tested, Grosorb delivers exceptional water penetration and is a market leader in the commercial and domestic markets.
Tip: If you're experiencing dead or dry patches, it is also worth checking your sprinkler nozzles to ensure they aren't blocked.
After checking your sprinkler nozzles, you should then check if the area is getting enough water. You can do this with catch cups. Check out our blog for more detail.
