I use it in garden beds and vegie patch. It says it's suitable for lawns too. http://www.neutrog.com.au/assets/Brochure-PDFs/Home-Garden-PDFs/NEU-SMG-A4-0310lr.pdf Available at Bunnings. You might find larger quantities and better price through rural supplies. Best organic granular turf fertilizers ? 5Sep 25, 2012 12:45 am +1for seamungus, pulverized version if you can as it looks slightly better on lawns. I've only used the normal Version because that was what I had Re: Best organic granular turf fertilizers ? 6Sep 25, 2012 9:41 am Hmmm, I never thought of it as a "complete replacement" for turf fertilizer! So what is the pulverised form? And what packaging it's in? Do they sell it in BGS? Is the crumble form better than granules? What is larger - crumble or granules?! Did I mention that it's a Sir Walter lawn (if it matters) ... there, I've changed the title of the thread My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: Best organic non-liquid fertilizers for Sir Walter? 7Sep 25, 2012 8:33 pm Seamungus (blue packaging, which is granules, or green packaging, which is crumble) the pellets take longer to break down. hence I suggested the crumble for lawn. Also harder for dogs to gobble them up. My dog thinks they are delicious. Re: Best organic non-liquid fertilizers for Sir Walter? 9Sep 26, 2012 11:34 am but then he also loves the taste of blood and bone. sigh. not the nicest doggy breath aroma. Re: Best organic granular turf fertilizers ? 10Sep 26, 2012 11:38 am Lex OMG, your house looks like from a magazine, well done!!! And thanks for the reply ... I wonder if DL for turf smell like the normal one?? Thanks Lex, very happy with the result - garden blooming with Spring so time to add more plants. DL smell is only for a day or so Might give the Seamungus a go as surely I need shares in Seasol/Powerfeed. Also, my dog loves Blood and Bone Would be happier if she tried the snails Carlisle Homes 'Savannah 28' Visit our Blog: http://www.oursavannah28.blogspot.com Handover 31st March, 2011 - Landscaping completed Re: Best organic granular turf fertilizers ? 11Sep 26, 2012 12:10 pm Debra50 Hi Lex, I have used Dynamic Lifter on the garden beds - they also make a granular mix for Lawns that will fit through a lawn spreader. In the winter months I use Blood and Bone. Been busy in the back garden - new photos on blog. Hi Debra - garden is looking great - well done!

That would be a nice test! (no offence, sorry ) I wonder if they would ever try to eat the synthetic ones? (Hhmmm, they probably didn't have a chance ... seeing that they own (or belong to ?? ) some smart and informed h1 people and not just anyone off the street ... ) ... My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: Best organic non-liquid fertilizers for Sir Walter? 14Oct 04, 2012 10:03 pm I alternate between seamungus green and dynamic lifter every 3-4 months or so. Ive been really slack and havent seasol/molass'essed (cant spell that) for ages... Grass is still green though so wont get yelled at just yet... And yes the stupid dogs eats the seamungus and then manages to run through the lawn as im watering it and gets seamungus all over her white fluffy paws. Which she then takes inside... So you can imagine what happens from here.. Re: Best organic non-liquid fertilizers for Sir Walter? 15Oct 05, 2012 8:42 am At least the dog is happy! Update ... or no update, actually. I haven't done anything yet! Now that the weather is starting to heat up (with some rain forecast in between the hot bursts), I don't want to add to the speed of growth and then maaaybe have to mow it a week or two sooner! Still haven't mowed since 1st May and it still doesn't need mowing. So it's been more than 5 months! Only some narrow strips along high walls/shade have grown a little bit higher, the main lawn is still like recently cut! But, hehehe, I've watered the lawn (sporadically though) since I started this thread!! And will just leave it to see what happens. I might at some stage (after a good rain) apply all that seasol that I still have ... laziness permitted, of course ... And it seems like seamungus is the way to go if all else fails ... errr ... or maybe that should be the first thing to do !!??! My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ...

Re: Best organic non-liquid fertilizers for Sir Walter? 17Nov 23, 2012 4:07 pm Update Firstly, looks like Seamungus green has been discountined. Secondly, I did it! I used the terribly smelly chicken pellets (Hortico brand) because it says it's 100% organic. However, this is a very balanced fertilizer, so I dunno how much greening up will I eventually see ... And yes, it does stink, but as someone said, only for a few days The problem I see with this, and probably any other fertilizer that is not the size of a piece of sand, is that it stays on top of the turf and very little falls down to the roots and gets used. Unless you water it for a month for 10 hours each day hahahaha so it eventually breaks down into smaller particles .. My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: Best organic non-liquid fertilizers for Sir Walter? 18Nov 24, 2012 5:08 pm I used Dino fert but it does have a slight smell. which dissapates quite quick after you water it in well I went outside once.
