Dressing

If the lawn becomes thick and spongy, aerate and dress your lawn in late winter or early spring. Follow these steps to ensure a healthy lawn for summer:
  • Remove thatch and built up organic layer by mowing the lawn on the mower’s lowest settings
  • Gather all clippings and organic matter with plastic rake (this will reduce the quantity of dressing required)
  • 1m³ of lawn dressing will cover 80-100m² lawn
  • Never dress the lawn thicker thank 15mm
  • Spread dressing evenly over lawn and irrigate 25mm per week
  • Keeping the dressed layer moist, will enhance new leaf penetration and re-growth
A simple method to calculate how much dressing you'd need, is to take the surface area of the lawm, times the thickness. For instance, 300m² x 0.015m= 4.5m³ of dressing required.
