Would it harm the grass if i Seasol just 5 days in? Visit my blog: http://merndahouse.blogspot.com/ Re: New lawn needs help 4Nov 11, 2009 10:44 pm Seasol can not harm anything at any stage of it's growth Should be applied once it has been laid. It would be highly recomended that you apply seasol to a new lawn every week for at least 4 weeks and preferably 6 weeks. Use a controlled release fertiliser at about 8 weeks if you want to. Something like Scotts Lawn Builder (just get the one without all the extras ) A wetting agent should be used again at about 6-8 weeks. Saturaid by Debco Hands down, one of the best Re: New lawn needs help 5Nov 13, 2009 8:15 am and for anyone following fu's lawn care advice on using some molasses, putting it into the empty seasol spraying container and spraying it on can be tricky, its caused me more grief by blocking up the little feed tube regularly while trying to just spray seasol so its a bit hit and miss any tips for applying the saturaid fu? seems that you have to spread it very very thin to get the coverage they recommend per bag Blog - http://snakedr.blogspot.com/ Build Thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=12084&p=307406#p307406 Status - PCI 15/10.

Re: New lawn needs help 6Nov 13, 2009 11:41 am The coverage they say is impossible to do isn't it The big bag says it does 600m2 but I have only ever got it to cover 250 m2 at the most. Regardless it offers the best value for money of all of them. Most will do between 75m2 and 200m2 with lacklustre long term results Just chuck it down and water it in You'll be fine Re: New lawn needs help 7Nov 13, 2009 11:44 am As for the molasses in the container, well try sniping the straw a bit shorter, on an angle. Then use about 1/2 a cup to a cup of molasses in there. Fill with hot or warm water and give a stir with a bamboo stake. Let it sit and cool and then apply to the garden Try that the leaves that are now underground go yellow, the tips that poke through photosynthesise and have chlorophyll, same reason they grow rhubarb in the dark. 5 4876 A person needs to be licensed to offer financial advice.
