Applying liquid products, such as fertilisers, wetting agents, or weed control, is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:


1. Read the Label: Always start by reading the product label for specific instructions and recommended application rates. (Labels can be found under the add to cart button.

2. Prepare the Sprayer:

• We recommend using 4L of Water/100m2 (this will help you apply in two directions) 

• Fill your sprayer with water about halfway.

• Measure the required amount of the liquid product as per the label instructions.

• Add the product to the sprayer and top it up with water.

3. Mix Thoroughly: Ensure the product is mixed well with the water in the sprayer.

4. Apply Evenly:

• Walk at a steady pace and spray evenly across your lawn.

• For best results, apply in a crosshatch pattern (north-south, then east-west) to ensure even coverage.

5. Water In: Depending on the product, you may need to lightly water your lawn after application to help it soak into the soil. Check the label for specific instructions.

6. Timing: Follow the recommended application timing for each product. For example:

Fertilisers: Every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

Wetting Agents: Every 2-4 weeks, especially before dry periods.

Weed Control: Apply as needed when weeds are actively growing.
