Message Board - Natural Turf: What fert for legend couch in autumn.
Posted 26 Apr 2010 Chris Brennan
Guys
A keen home gardener with a reasonable legend couch lawn and am planning to fert this week. Not sure if i should just be using the same turf gold as i did 8 weeks ago or should i be changing to something different IE high in potassium or even something organic?
Cheers

Some may say liquid iron for colour retention, just be careful of any paved surfaces as the iron will stain.

ease up on nitrogen use potassium it will harden your sward against cold and assist carbohydrate manufacture and retention.

just use a good balanced controlled release fert. 19-1-16 can be used all year round with good results...

Throw some raw sugar at it and see if it stays greener than other couch lawns in the area. I do it to my buffalo at home and it stays green and the neighbours goes dormant. Try about 10kg per hundred square metres.

I wouldn't waste money on fert heading into the dormancy period. If you want to just retain colour in the leaf liquid Iron is ample as already mentioned. I use Iron on my pitches.

Nothing wrong with a good High K type fert heading into the cooler months, K will help with stress tolerance through the winter.
Once is a mistake, twice is stupidity!
