Either or, you can also use rooster booster by neutrog. Maybe wait till the end of october once the grass is growing strong so you get best use of the fertiliser. What grass have you got btw? If its kikuyu then only apply half the dose... Dynamic Lifter for lawns 12Oct 18, 2011 12:54 pm Thanks for all the valuable feedback. I know most of you won't like it, I have got some sort of couch, was laid by a landscaper w/o much preparation. I am trying to get it to an acceptable level after reading through the forum and have been successful to an extent. I will hit it up with DL or other more suitable alternative later in the month. Re: Dynamic Lifter for lawns 13Oct 18, 2011 3:34 pm Hi there, I've got sapphire buffalo, not couch, but went through something similar. The winter grass (I think it was nut grass) was just rampant in one corner of the front yard. In desperation, we applied one of those "safe for buffalo" herbicides for winter grass during the fall and although it killed off the weeds, it also left small brown patches in the lawn where it was applied. I decided not to use it again but to keep up with the molasses, seasol, and other organic fertilizers (shades of green and seamungus over the winter) and I dug each new clump out by hand with my mini-weed popper. Now, months on, the nut grass has not returned save for one small clump here and there, every month or so. Nowhere near the amount in the fall/early winter. Good luck. And if you do use a spray, I'd wait until the lawn is well established (over six months old I think, others can correct me if wrong). Re: Dynamic Lifter for lawns 15Nov 09, 2011 12:20 am No one thing is great. Its a combination of many things. The use of DPM on gardens is a controversial one. The companies that make them often flex their muscles. It isn't a means of starting a good sustainable lawn that's for sure. Those days have been relegated back to 1985. In the right soils the forms of organic material are effectively used. In the right soils |
