Mold on the lawn after applying Organic Lawn Fertiliser?

turbogrün Organic Lawn Fertiliser is a 100% vegan fertiliser made from plant residues from food production, and it contains all the essential nutrients your lawn needs for healthy growth. These nutrients are broken down by the microorganisms in the soil and made available to the grass.

In light moisture, for example from dew, high humidity or prolonged damp weather, the components of the fertiliser may visibly change. After a while, a white or pale coating can form.

This coating is a naturally occurring soil fungus and a clear sign that soil organisms have started breaking down the fertiliser. In drier weather this process is usually not visible, but it still takes place in the soil.

Good to know:

  • This is not a typical mould

  • The fungus is completely harmless to people, children, pets and your lawn

  • You can keep using your lawn as normal

After a thorough watering, or after a longer dry spell, the visible fungus disappears on its own and usually doesn't come back.
