Whilst we often remember to fertilise our garden beds and indoor plants, lawn fertilisation is commonly left by the wayside.
Perth summers can be particularly harsh on our lawns and even the toughest varieties that thrive in full sun are left parched and patched after a classic Perth heat wave.
This is where fertilising is particularly useful, but we understand that not everyone has the time or energy to do it — especially if the turfed area is very large.
The Two Gloves team would love to show you how a quality lawn fertiliser can enhance your outdoor space, and actually elevate your whole garden.
Regular fertilising for a thriving lawn.
Did you know it’s best practice to fertilise your lawn every eight weeks? That’s six times a year. An annual fertiliser-dump can actually do more harm than good, and result in over-fertilising that ends up being washed away and wasted with watering. Instead, we suggest regularly fertilising in a thin layer so your lawn only gets what it needs through consistent slow-release nutrition.
Lawn fertilising to support our soils.
Perth has famously sandy soils, as opposed to the rich, moist soils lawns actually love. Pair this fine sand with a dry climate, and it’s a wonder grass can grow at all! This is one of the main reasons lawns need to be fertilised — even seemingly healthy lawns. Fertilising is all about giving lawn the nutrients it needs but often isn’t getting from the soil. This create a healthy hidden ecosystem where grass roots can really thrive.
Carbon-based lawn fertiliser.
Zero-odour, chemical-free, safe for pets & kids.
We use a locally made carbon-based lawn fertiliser that’s chemical-free, safe for pets and kids, and compliant with Australian standards and regulations. It’s also made from local materials found in WA for a nature-feeding-nature fertilising effect.
Being carbon-based, as this fertiliser breaks down into the soil beneath the lawn, it draws down greenhouse gases — like carbon dioxide (CO2) — stored in the atmosphere. By putting carbon back into our soils through lawn fertilisation, we remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and combat global warming. Plus, this fertiliser improves soil health by encouraging microbial activity (a tiny ecosystem in the soil), which helps lawns stay green and lusher for longer.
The grass is greener with Two Gloves.
You’ll be amazed at how quickly a quality slow-release lawn fertiliser can transform your front lawn or back lawn. In no time at all, you’ll be back to admiring beautiful lush lawn (like Travis from Stirling) that doubles as a play area, entertainment zone, and even a cricket pitch. We can also advise on and manage all aspects of lawn care, such as
weeding
and
mowing, for the complete lawn maintenance package.
