Laying a new lawn is just the beginning, now it’s time to give it the care it needs to thrive.

Whether you’ve laid turf rolls or grown your lawn from seed, this bundle gives your soil the nutrition and support it needs to establish fast and stay lush year-round, even through the heat of summer or depths of winter.
Use this bundle when establishing a new lawn—whether laying turf or seeding—especially if the soil is compacted, water-repellent, or the lawn is patchy, and you want to boost nutrient uptake and soil biology from day one. What's inside the just been laid starter bundle:
Why Choose the Just Been Laid Starter Bundle:
(1243)
The science behind the Just Been Laid Turf Starter Pack is focused on solving the biggest challenge new turf faces: getting roots established quickly while minimising stress and resource loss. Freshly laid turf has limited root contact with the soil, so this bundle combines seaweed extracts, microbial inoculants, and soil wetting agents to support all parts of the establishment process at once. Seaweed provides natural growth hormones and stress-reducing compounds that help the turf overcome transplant shock and stimulate early root development, while humates and organic inputs from Activ8Mate feed beneficial microbes that stabilise nutrients in the rhizosphere and convert them into plant-available forms. At the same time, the soil wetter ensures water can penetrate evenly through the soil profile, critical for new turf where dry patch or hydrophobic layers can prevent roots from accessing moisture. Together, this creates a highly efficient soil, plant system where water, nutrients, and biology are all optimised from day one, allowing faster root establishment, improved survival rates, and stronger long-term turf performance.
The Plant Doctor range is formulated for maximum efficiency; most products require just 1 mL of concentrate per square metre (that’s 100 mL per 100 sqm). For example, 1L of Activ8Mate can treat up to 1,000 sqm of lawn or garden. Backed by a 90-day money-back guarantee, it’s easy to see why thousands of Aussie gardeners trust Plant Doctor.

First time owning lawn. Gave the team at plant doctor a ring and they supplied me with a wealth of information. Products turned up quickly.
Will definitely be getting more 8 weeks difference been using stimulizer, activ8mate, soil wetter, seaweed secrets and champion fertiliser. Was super fast delivery.
Only have great things to say about Plant Doctor. Organic products and a competitive price, fast shipping and easy to contact with questions. Have had great results with the special mix for lawns, and my plants (indoor and outdoor) love the seaweed secrets. I am excited to test out some of the animal products soon!
