In this video, we're kicking off the season with its very first fertiliser application. Despite the chilly 11-degree weather and a recent frost, it's time to address the lawn. We'll start by identifying some of the common weeds that have popped up, including broadleaf varieties and clover. A key topic of discussion is the timing of granular fertiliser applications versus liquid feeds.
You'll see the impressive results from a small test patch where urea was applied just a week ago, which tells us the rye grass is hungry and ready for a feed. The main event is applying a special new batch of TROJAN.
I'll explain the specific reason why we're feeding the lawn now to prepare it for future treatments, ensuring it's at its optimum health. Finally, we'll run the irrigation system to water in the fertiliser, and I'll dive into the details of our setup. This includes a look at the high-performance sprinkler nozzles ideal for windy conditions and an explanation of why irrigation systems are designed to run one zone at a time.
