Description

Australia’s most popular lawn fertiliser has an excellent reputation with home gardeners and professional turf managers alike. The ‘set and forget’solution to having a great lawn all year round, this product includes selective herbicides that will kill most broadleaf weeds with exceptions. Scotts Lawn Builder & Weed Kill contains three selective broadleaf herbicides that will control a broad range of weeds. It has boosted iron and sulphur content promotes deeper green and stronger growth.

The thicker the lawn, the fewer chances weeds have of taking hold – they’re smothered before they become obvious and need treatment. Scotts Lawn Builder™ uses patented time-release technology to ensure nutrients are released slowly and continuously over a three month period. Slow-release of nutrients through controlled feeding eliminates waste through run-off and leaching and prevents burning and surge growth.

Traditional lawn foods release or ‘dump’ most of their nutrients within a couple of weeks of application, causing a rapid surge in growth that quickly drops off again as the food supply diminishes. This weedkiller has a low 1% phosphorus, which means it can be safely used anywhere in Australia without posing any risk to ground or surface water. The recommended low application rate is just 16 grams per m2, not the kilograms often associated with regular lawn foods.
