As spring arrives, Neville looks at how the way we fertilise our lawns has changed, with controlled-release fertilisers and beneficial microbes helping improve soil health and promote healthy growth.

• A new approach – Instead of applying large amounts of high-nitrogen fertiliser, modern lawn care uses smaller amounts of controlled-release, biologically based fertilisers.
• The power of microbes – Beneficial microbes help improve soil health and unlock nutrients, making them available to the lawn in a more natural way.
• Reducing thatch – These microbes also help break down thatch and older foliage, converting it into nutrients that can be used by the lawn.
• Simple lawn care – With just three applications throughout the year, you can maintain a healthy green lawn. Water immediately after applying to activate the beneficial microbes.
• By feeding the soil as well as the lawn, beneficial microbes can help create healthier soil and support strong, sustainable lawn growth.
