Instructions for using the turbogrün Fall Lawn Fertilizer

To ensure your lawn is optimally prepared for winter, you should apply the Turbogrün Fall Lawn Fertilizer correctly and at the right time.

Preparation Before Fertilizing

  • The lawn grass should be dry

  • Mow the lawn beforehand

Our tip: Aerate the lawn before fertilizing so that the nutrients can penetrate the soil more effectively

Fertilizer Application

  • It is best to apply fertilizer using a centrifugal spreader (e.g., Turbostreuer Level 5) or a spreader trailer

  • Fill the spreader outside the lawn area

  • Weigh the required amount in advance

Dosage: 20 g/m²

Watering After Fertilizing

  • The best time to fertilize is right before a rain shower

  • Alternatively, water the lawn at a rate of 10–15 l/m²

The Best Time for Fall Fertilization

We recommend two applications:

  • 1st Dose: Mid-September

  • 2. Application: Depending on the weather, from late October to early November

As an alternative to the second fall application of fertilizer, you can also use Turbogrün Stress Manager.

Why Fall Fertilization Is So Important

The Turbogrün Fall Lawn Fertilizer contains a high percentage of potassium:

  • strengthens cell walls

  • makes the lawn sturdy and winter-hardy

  • increases resistance to cold

  • protects against fungal diseases

Without fall fertilization, the lawn will have a much harder time getting through the winter and will start the spring off weaker.

Be aware of the ground temperature

  • The soil temperature should remain at a constant of at least 8 °C

  • A meat thermometer, for example, is suitable for taking the temperature

  • A few cool fall days are no problem—the ground retains heat for several days

Manual Fertilization (for Experienced Gardeners)

  • Wear gloves to avoid skin contact

  • Spread the fertilizer evenly

  • Sprinkle once lengthwise and once crosswise, using half the recommended amount each time

  • Do not overlap application paths to avoid over-fertilization
