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 and free draining soil. The right soil will give your Couch lawn the best possible start and help to prevent nutrient deficiencies and water problems. We strongly advise incorporating Kaolin Clay into sandy Perth soils. Kaolin Clay 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, Kaolin Clay needs to be incorporated into your soil with approximately 10% organic matter such as humus.
Wintergreen Couch turf has a short establishment time. Where other lawns could take up to two years to fully establish, Wintergreen Couch 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 Wintergreen Couch for a high traffic area it is recommended to reduce the traffic for the first 4 weeks. In the warmer months Wintergreen Couch 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 1-2 weeks and can be confirmed by checking that the rolls have secured themselves to the soil. Letting the lawn get overly long before the first mow will result in scalping or the development of excess thatch.
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 Couch 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.
Thatch is an inherent byproduct of healthy lawn growth, found in all lawns. It obstructs the crucial passage of water and nutrients to the roots, where they are required for sustenance. To address this, it's advisable to engage in verti-mowing at least once annually.
For establishing or repairing of turf, the application should be 5kg per 100m2 of MatchPlay Pro Series NPK 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 3kg per 100m2 every 6-8 weeks for 6 months after installation and every 10-12 weeks thereafter.
Remember, always water thoroughly to activate the fertiliser and prevent any possible leaf burn.
Wetting agents are the backbone of any good lawn, especially in WA’s hydrophobic soil conditions. For optimum heath of your lawn, it is recommended to apply 500ml Biagra per 100m2 every 6 – 8 weeks for 6 months after installation and every 10-12 weeks thereafter.
