WHY PAINTING YOUR LAWN ISN'T SUCH A CRAZY IDEA 🤪
You may have noticed some discolouration in your lawn occurring with the onset of some cooler weather. This will likely continue throughout winter as your lawn goes into some level of dormancy.
You might laugh at first at the idea of painting your lawn green and to be honest it does sound like a strange thing to do.
Don’t go out and find some green paint and start coating your grass… that’s a very unhealthy thing to do to your lawn and the environment. But the fundamental idea of painting your lawn, actually isn’t that far off the mark…
Apply
ColourGuard Plus in winter!
Golf courses do it, sports fields also do it, turf farms even do it.
I’m talking about applying ColourGuard Plus. Now this is not a paint people.
It’s an organically derived pigment and fertiliser and it can make a world of difference to the appearance of your lawn over winter.
How to apply ColourGuard Plus to your lawn
Spray ColourGuard Plus onto your lawn when it is dry and there is no rain forecast. Work your way across the lawn from one side to the other. If you happen to get some on your concrete, driveway or any other surfaces be sure to rinse it off straight away to avoid any staining. ColourGuard Plus also contains a liquid fertiliser component providing a small boost to the health of your lawn, so it’s not just a cosmetic fix it has a nutritional benefit as well.
ColourGuard Plus also acts as a blanket for your grass allowing it to retain an internal leaf temperature 2 degrees higher than untreated areas, which can limit the impact of frost!
Once the lawn has absorbed and the ColourGuard Plus is dry, usually within 24hrs, you can hose off the lawn to remove any residue that may still be present. This will help to ensure you avoid any unnecessary transference.
ColourGuard Plus is safe to use around pets and kids but wait until the product has absorbed and dried first before letting them back out on the lawn… this will save you from ending up with a green dog!
ColourGuard Plus is available in both ready to use and concentrates, so you can simply clip it onto your hose to apply or mix with water as required with a knapsack or commercial spraying system.
