The Importance of Fertilising and Overseeding Your Lawn in our Ballarat Spring: A Guide with DLF and Permafert Products

September 11, 2024

Spring is a time of renewal and growth—especially for your lawn. After a long winter, your grass needs some TLC to recover and thrive throughout the warmer months. Fertilising and overseeding at the start of spring are two key steps in ensuring a healthy, green lawn. At Dela Landscaping Supplies, we offer top-quality products, including DLF seeds, fertilisers or our organic fertiliser, Permafert, to help your lawn get the best start.

 

Why Fertilise Your Lawn in Spring?

Winter can leave your lawn looking tired and patchy. Fertilising in early spring provides the essential nutrients your grass needs to grow strong and lush. The key benefits of spring fertilisation include:

 

  1. Boosting Grass Growth: Fertilising provides your lawn with the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium it needs to stimulate root growth and improve the overall health of your grass.

 

  1. Greening Up Quickly: Applying fertiliser early in spring helps your lawn green up faster, giving it that rich, vibrant look much sooner in the season.

 

  1. Improving Resistance: A well-fed lawn is more resistant to weeds, pests, and diseases. Fertilising helps your grass grow thick and strong, reducing the chances of weed infestations and other lawn issues.

 

At Dela Landscaping, we recommend using **Permafert**, our organic fertiliser or our DLF lawn fertiliser. There packed with nutrients that nourish the soil and grass while being safe for the environment and your family.

 

The Importance of Overseeding

Overseeding is the process of adding grass seed to your existing lawn. This helps fill in bare spots and improves the density and appearance of your lawn. Here’s why overseeding is essential:

 

  1. Repairing Winter Damage: Ice, and freezing temperatures can cause damage to your lawn, leaving thin or bare patches. Overseeding helps repair these areas by introducing new, healthy grass.

 

  1. Increasing Lawn Thickness: A thick lawn is the best defense against weeds and pests. Overseeding ensures that your lawn stays dense and vibrant throughout the year.

 

  1. Enhancing Grass Variety: By overseeding with DLF seeds, you can introduce a variety of grass types that are more resilient to weather, pests, and foot traffic. This makes your lawn hardier and more attractive.

 

At Dela Landscaping Supplies, we stock DLF seeds, known for their high quality and strong performance in a range of soil and climate conditions.

How to Fertilize and Overseed Your Lawn

  1. Start with Fertilising: Apply Permafert or DLF lawn fertiliser evenly across your lawn. Make sure to follow the product instructions to avoid over-fertilising.

 

  1. Prepare for Overseeding: After fertilising, rake the lawn to loosen the soil, then spread DLF grass seeds over the lawn. Water the area gently to help the seeds settle into the soil.

 

  1. Water Regularly: Keep the lawn well-watered over the next few weeks to encourage germination and promote healthy growth.
