Ready for GLEE 2006, Johnson's Garden Care have introduced a new range to complement their existing range of Johnson's Lawn Seed.

These new Lawn Feed products are currently used very favourably by the professional groundsman and are particularly suitable for those looking to achieve a green and healthy lawn with more efficient nutrient usage and many environmental benefits, which is becoming of increasing importance to the British gardener.

Mini granular slow release fertiliser is fortified with naturally occurring mycorrhizae fungi and beneficial soil bacteria. The new Lawn Feed comes in an easy to use spreader bag and is suitable for all types of lawn. There are two different formulations, one for Spring/Summer and one for Autumn.

How does this all work, you may ask? First of all the mycorrhizae fungi form a mutually beneficial relationship with the roots and thus help to develop the root system.  Stronger and healthier roots are more effective in feeding the plant with nutrients and water as well as protecting it from disease.  Other fungi and beneficial bacteria play a vital role in enhancing the underground food chain to promote a healthy soil structure for the plant to thrive in. 

Thatch, which is the layer of dead material between the lawn and the soil, is broken down by the bacteria and recycled back into the soil as usable nutrients.  Keeping thatch under control is essential for a healthy, green lawn.

All this activity above and below ground, together with the slow release fertiliser, means more healthy grass on the surface, all the better for lying on.
