Lawn Bulider Buffalo 4KG
The 'set and forget' solution to having a great lawn all year round, this product has all the best nutrients to ensure your buffalo lawn has all it needs to flourish
May be safely used on all types of lawn including the buffalo varieties Sir Walter, Palmetto, Sapphire, ShademasterandMatilda, as well as kikuyu and couch varieties
Boosted ironcontent promotes deeper greenand stronger growth. The thicker the lawn, the less chance weeds have of taking hold - they're smothered before they become obvious and need treatment
Slow-release of nutrients through controlled feeding eliminates waste through run-off and leaching and prevents burning and surge growth
Traditional lawn foods release or 'dump' most of their nutrients within a couple of weeks of application, causing a rapid surge in growth that quickly drops off again as the food supply diminishes.
Scotts Lawn Builder™ uses patented time-release technology to ensure nutrients are released slowly and continuously over a three month period
Buffalo has a low 0.5%phosphorus, which means it can be safely used anywhere in Australiawithout posing any risk to ground or surface water
Buffalo has a recommended application rate of just 16 grams per m2, not the kilograms often associated with regular lawn foods!
When used as directed, this product is safe to use around domestic pets and children. Check paws and feet for granules before allowing pets or children on to paved areas as staining may occur
SUITABLE FOR
All lawn grasses including all named varieties of buffalo, traditional couch, Santa Ana couch, kikuyu, bent, fescues and carpet grass
All grass substitutes such as dichondra (also known as pennywort or kidney weed), lippia, zoysia
NOT SUITABLE FOR

How much will I need?
Buffalo has a recommended application rate of 16g/m2
To work out how much you will need to fertilise your lawn:
Calculate the area of the lawn in square metres (multiply the length by the width)
The area multiplied by the application rate will give the exact amount of Scotts Lawn Builder™ you need
Use a set of scales to weigh it out and then add it to the spreader ready to apply - do not be tempted to add a 'bit extra for luck' because over-application may result in nitrogen burning
As a Guide m2

Full Tennis court 260
How do I apply it?
For best results ALWAYS use a Scotts spreader
Check your model and make sure to set it correctly before you start (settings are also on the back label of the product)
If you don't have a spreader, make sure you distribute the fertiliser evenly over the lawn - uneven applications may result in 'hot spot' burning where too much has landed in one spot
