Aftercut All In One Autumn

Why Use in Autumn

1. Iron will kill the moss, creating less competition and a healthier, stronger lawn to withstand winter stress conditions
2. Potassium helps to move the energy to the roots for  essential storage over the winter months
3. The right amount of nitrogen will green up your lawn while avoiding excessive growth prior to winter

What to Expect

After 7 DAYS the lawn will become greener

Moss will blacken as it dies (any blackening of the grass is only temporary)

Re-treatment may be necessary for heavy moss infestation or if moss returns re-treat 6 weeks later

Tips to Reduce Moss

Feeding provides the right nutrients to your lawn. A healthy lawn grows strong and lush grass to crowd out moss.

1. Raking/Scarifying: Remove moss and fallen leaf debris to prevent the build up of dead organic material that encourages moss growth
2. Watering: water regularly during dry spells to avoid dry patches. It will also keep grass healthy and strong. If a long drought period continues do not water excessively.
3. Aerating: aerating the soil will help encourage the free passage of water and nutrients through the soil

Follow the above practices with application of Aftercut All In One Autumn and the reduction of moss can be successfully achieved
