Top Autumn Product Picks
As the warmer temperatures of summer start to transition into the autumn, now is a great time to focus on getting your lawn into shape before the cooler temperatures start to set in. Here’s some autumn lawn care products that are great to use on your lawn when preparing for winter.
Autumn Fertilisers
Knights Coastal Special Mix
Knights Coastal Special Lawn Mix is a lawn fertiliser made by Lawn Doctor Turf Solutions to suit our coastal sands. High in iron and trace elements and guaranteed to be the best thing you could give your lawn. Knights Coastal Special Mix will also help if you have yellowing of the leaf caused by chlorosis. Perth’s coastal sand has a lot of limestone in it – making it alkaline. Alkaline soils block plants from taking up vital nutrients like iron. When plants lack iron they get yellowing of the leaf, chlorosis. Fertilisers high in iron can combat this very quickly.
