Boost Your Lawn This September with Our Special Compost Mix

As we transition fully into spring, September offers a golden opportunity to fortify your garden with our Special Compost Mix. Whether you're installing new Kikuyu or LM grass, or simply enriching existing turf, this nutrient-packed blend sets the stage for a lush, long-lasting lawn.



Why September Is Prime Time for Compost Application

  • Spring growth is underway, and grass roots are actively absorbing nutrients.

  • Soil microbes thrive in warmer temperatures—compost application now maximizes their activity.

  • Soil improvement lasts all season, enhancing turf resilience during the coming summer months.



What Makes Our Compost Mix Special

  • Comprises sifted, weed-free topsoil—clean and ready for turf.

  • Blended with premium organic compost—rich in humus and beneficial microbes.

  • Enhanced with superphosphate, offering a slow, steady nutrient release to encourage deep root growth.



How to Apply Compost in September

  1. Top-dress existing lawns — Use a thin, even layer (about 5–10 mm) across the turf to boost growth.

  2. Underlay for new turf — When laying Kikuyu or LM grass, apply a layer of compost before rolling out sod or turf to encourage better root contact.

  3. Work it in gently — Lightly rake or use a flat board to ensure the compost integrates with the surface without damaging grass blades.



Why It Matters for Your Lawn

  • Enhances root strength and encourages deeper rooting—essential for drought resistance.

  • Improves soil structure—boosts drainage in heavy soils and water retention in sandy ones.

  • Promotes greener, healthier growth—especially vital as summer heat builds.



Quick Summary for September Lawn Maintenance

  • Boost newly installed turf with a compost base in September.

  • Refresh established lawns with top-dressing to renew health and vigor.

  • Be smart about timing—compost in September gives your grass all season-long benefits.
