What do yellow patches on the lawn mean after fertilizing?

In most cases, this is a sign that the lawn is under-fertilized!

The reasons can be complex:

• Fertilizer was not evenly distributed.

• Too little fertilizer was applied.

• The lawn is extremely undersupplied.

• There is compaction or water logging in certain areas of the lawn.

• The lawn is over-fertilized, no more than 20 g/m2 should be applied.

And what can you do about it?

• If the soil is waterlogged, it must be loosened or aerated.

• Compaction must be loosened.

• If the lawn is over-fertilized, it must be well watered;

• If you under-fertilize, you should top up with fertilizer, using a smaller quantity (approx. 10 g/m2). Pay attention to the spreading pattern, which must be even.

→ The best way to sprinkle is to use our Turbo spreader. This allows you to spread evenly and precisely, even on the smallest of surfaces, resulting in an optimum spreading pattern.

→ You must water the lawn well after every fertilization. It is best to apply the fertilizer directly before an expected downpour.

If you follow these points, the patches should disappear and the lawn should become evenly lush green.
