  • HANDLING PROCEDURE

    When handling larger volumes of Ultra Lawn, ensure stockpiles are covered to give protection against weather conditions and wind blown weed seeds.

    We know it's tempting, but try not to drive over stockpiles - it will compact the mix.

    Do not mix with soil - this will destroy the weed-free properties!

  • APPLICATION

    When handling larger volumes of compost, ensure stockpiles are covered to give protection against weather conditions and windblown weed seed. Apply a 50mm layer to the gardens and incorporate into the top layer of soil to improve friability of that soil and add valuable nutrients. Do not plant directly into compost. It MUST be mixed with existing soil. Composted soil retains moisture for longer, aiding plant establishment.

  • INGREDIENTS
