Rapid Roots – Pre-Seeding / Turfing Feed – Seedlings and freshly laid turf need a boost to get off to the best start. Turf is made up of mature plants but the process of harvesting and transporting puts a strain on the individual plants. So the key to a great lawn is rapid establishment. But the turf has to survive on its own resources until it has rooted into the soil. So encourage rapid rooting to ensure the lawn is healthy, green and strong. Not surprisingly seedlings need a little help to get started. Slow germination will give weeds the chance to get established. So, give your new lawn the right balance of nutrients by using Rapid Roots. It encourages strong root growth. Not only that but it also helps retain nutrients and promote healthy leaf growth. Uniquely, our formula can be applied to the soil before seeding or laying turf, or on top of newly laid turf. Although Rapid Roots was developed as a feed for use in the early stages of growth it can also be used as a general pick-me-up at any time of the year. Whilst this turf feed can be applied all year round, for best results please avoid application during heat waves or droughts. Key Points Magnesium oxide supports chlorophyll, which results in a beautiful green lawn. Nitrogen to promote leaf growth. Phosphorus in order to build strong, healthy and clean roots. Potassium to prevent lawn disease as well as increasing the roots water absorption rate. Humates and Trace Elements to increase nutrient retention, so fewer nutrients are washed away. Seaweed to stimulate bacteria within the soil which will release more nutrients to your soil. All these minerals and nutrients encourage grass seed to germinate Firstly, our Pre-Seeding / Turfing Feed contains nitrogen which is used to increase and promote leaf growth. Secondly, the magnesium oxide encourages strong colour. Finally, the phosphorous encourages strong, healthy and disease-free roots. Rapid Roots has been specifically developed to improve the plants’ nutrient retention; so increasing the effectiveness of the fertiliser. Lastly, we have added seaweed to stimulate the soil bacteria, which increases overall fertility. Rapid Roots Encourages A Healthier Lawn After Turfing To use as a pre-turfing fertiliser, apply to the soil at the stated dose then work the granules into the top 20-30mm with a rake. Once the turf is laid, it is important to water well. Apply any left over Rapid Roots to an existing lawn or onto a newly established lawn. This will provide the grass with sufficient nutrients for the first six months of growth. 4 Reasons why you need pre-turfing fertiliser Composition 8% Nitrogen (N) 4% Phosphorus Pentoxide (P2O5) 8% Potassium Oxide (K2O) 3% Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Trace Elements Humates Zeolites Seaweed Coverage Each bag covers 100m² at the recommended dose of 20g/m².
