Ben Sims Lawn Tips special mix fertiliser bundle - Small

Some helpful information….

Most of our liquid products can all be mixed and applied together, (The liquid iron products don’t like to be mixed as concentrates except Stimulizer, so add after the water has been added or apply separately if using a hose-on bottle and add after the water in watering can or pressure sprayer). Or they can be applied separately at various frequencies, based on the soil/plant/lawns requirements and condition.

Unfortunately, as there are a million things that effect the exact amount needed and the frequency of application for each product, there is no one fits all solution. Hence why the experts seem to always have nice looking gardens and lawns and the rest of us struggle… haha.

Regarding application, there are several ways our liquids can be applied…..

Watering can: mix the amount suggested (typically 10-30ml)/9 litres of water.

Hose‐on Bottle (Seasol/weed ‘n feed etc.) or hortex sprayer: mix the minimum amount of water with the product/s to allow you to cover the required area/s. For example, for my front yard, using an old weed n feed hose-on bottle I add 100ml of each Seaweed Secrets, Activ8mate and Natures Soil Wetter, then top up with enough water to allow you to evenly cover it using the hose-on bottle (I add about 600ml water), then evenly hose-on. If using a Hortex sprayer on setting 2 without the restrictor, you shouldn’t need to add water, but if you do, just add as little amount to cover the required area.

EZFLO Fertigation System (We sell them on our site): An easy way to apply concentrated fertilisers to your lawn, plants and gardens. As easy as adding your concentrated liquid fertilisers (together if they are compatible) directly into its cannister, connect to the hose or irrigation system, adjust the setting to the dilution  rate/amount  of  fertiliser  to  be  applied  (4  settings  from  fast  to  slow  that  correspond  to  the recommended application rates on the products) and away you go. If connecting to a hose, you can hose straight on with your normal hose nozzle or even connect a sprinkler (and timer if you like) and let it do the hard work for you. Great for small lawn maintenance businesses or larger properties too as you can set and leave, then move to the next area as required, fertilising whilst you’re doing other maintenance.

Pressure/knapsack sprayer: All our products will benefit the soil and last longer when in the soil, so applying with enough water to get them into the soil is key. As they are supercharged with complex organic compounds, the leaf absorbs what it needs within minutes, so don’t need to stay on the leaf. Therefore, you need about 15 litres (a little more or less won’t hurt) of water to be applied per 100m2, so take that into consideration when applying. If you have a smaller sprayer, either do several smaller applications i.e. covering 50m at a time and repeat until the entire area is covered, or over a larger areaspray with the required amount and if you haven’t used 15 litres/100m2, give a light water-in.

Question: What coverage do you get from the small bundles?

Answer: The small bundles provide roughly 1,000m2 of coverage.
