If you regularly get winter grass later in the year you can apply your Wintergrass Killer pre emergent on St Patricks Day. Pre emergent’s work by stopping the wintergrass from coming up. They also prevent many weed seeds from germinating
Bi Agra is a new innovation in the fight against hydrophobic soils. All other wetting agents work by getting your soil to accept the water. Bi Agra is a revolutionary new product as it not only gets your soil to accept the water, it also helps your soil to hold the water for longer, thus giving a dual action effect that has been tested by the University of WA.
It should be applied at the start of spring as it is easier to keep soil moist then to try and re wet it once it has dried out. We also reccomend it be re applied in December when the really hot weather starts and again in February when the turf is really struggling. Once water is penetrating into the soil you need to apply a fertiliser with a small amount of phosphorus like Knights Coastal Special Mix to get the roots stronger.
We also have our own bulk amounts of commercial grade wetting agent, Knights EZY Wet, available.
