Are you looking for the best lawn care products to use this Autumn? While there are so many different types of products available, knowing which ones to use and when can be difficult to know! In this blog, we share three of our favourite products to use on your lawn this season.
Why Preventative Products Are a Must
Over recent years, new preventative lawn care products, particularly pre-emergent control for weeds and Acelepryn technology for grub prevention, have made caring for our lawns much easier. These products are helpful if your lawn or local region is prone to ongoing weed or pest pressures, like Winter Grass and Armyworm. Let’s look at how you can get the most out of pre-emergents and grub prevention technology this Autumn.
What Are Pre-Emergent Herbicides?
Pre-emergent herbicides like Oxafert 3kg work by targeting weed seedlings during germination. Pre-emergents are particularly handy if you have had Winter Grass growing in your lawn previously. With Winter Grass, it will drop its seeds into the soil over winter and stays there till next Autumn when the temperatures cool. Once the soil temperature is cool enough, the seeds in the soil will start germinating and growing.
You can stop the weed invasion entirely by timing your pre-emergent herbicide application before the temperatures cool. Although we are only at the start of Autumn, we recommend having this product ready so you can apply it before the cooler temperatures begin. For most regions, the cooler temperatures will start around mid-Autumn.
We recommend Oxafert 3kg, Grub Guard Ultimate & Lawn Solutions Fertiliser for the best results.
