For Treatment of Dry Summer Lawns

To revive dry summer or patchy lawns, under trees or prior to seeding dry areas, apply at the recommended rate.

Apply before or during wet weather or watering and if possible spike the area as much as possible. Spike depth will be shallow initially as the ground will be hard but this enables penetration of water and active ingredient deeper into the soil once rain or watering commences. As water starts penetrating you should be able to spike deeper. 

Repeat application once or twice more 2-4 weeks apart until grass recovers.

How much do I need?

Plan on at least 3 applications to a problem area. Long term conditions in older lawns may need treating every month from April to August (5 applications). This means typically you would need to order enough to treat the total area 3 to 5 times in any one year. This product has a shelf life of 3 years.

Other uses

• Anywhere that there is a dry soil problem, perhaps after removing large fibrous plants, shrubs, bushes or trees
• Around dead tree stumps
• Around ants nests - useful prior to applying poisons that need to penetrate the soil
• To re-wet hanging baskets and tubs
• Also reduces run-off in hanging baskets and tubs by improving permeability

Either use at the recommended rate for dry patch and fairy rings or if treating hanging baskets water as normal but put 20ml Yucca Wetta in 10 litres water once. Repeat after 4 weeks if needed.
