Lawn grasses, like other plants, need nitrogen as an essential element in healthy growth. Nitrogen deficient lawns will be pale and patchy and exhibit poor or uneven growth.
Check your lawn for poor or patchy growth, pale colour and thin grass coverage.
If the symptoms suggest nitrogen deficiency apply an appropriate organic fertiliser. NOURISH ALL PURPOSE is ideally balanced for providing nitrogen to lawn grasses and promoting green, lush dense lawns.
The nitrogen in the NOURISH ORGANIC FERTILISER range is in the natural forms of seaweed, fishmeal and natural salts. BioGro have certified all the NOURISH range for use in organic gardening.
Nitrogen is an essential element in the healthy growth of all plants including lawn grasses. We usually want a dense, green, lush lawn and nitrogen will encourage this.
The macro nutrients that plants need in relatively large quantities are nitrogen (N), sulphur (S), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). But plants also need trace elements in small quantities for healthy growth. Trace elements include; iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), boron (B), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and molybdenum (Mo).
