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.
