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