How to Avoid Over Fertilising Lawn
Maintenance
The main cause of over fertilising lawn is too much nitrogen. When a dog urinates on a lawn, it exposes the lawn to a huge amount of nitrogen, causing the lawn to burn and turn brown.
Always check the dosage rates for your fertiliser. If you apply too much fertiliser, you are being wasteful, encouraging weak and fast growth and making the lawn attractive to pests.
Fertiliser enhances your lawn and provides it with necessary nutrients. By watering it in properly and applying it only as your lawn requires, you’ll avoid burning or over fertilising lawn.
