Cultural Notes: Regular mowing improves the quality and look of a Soft leaf Buffalo lawn. The ideal mowing height is 30-40mm. Mow more often in spring and summer. Less frequent mowing is required in autumn and winter. Apply a high Nitrogen lawn food in September and again in December. Remove thatch each spring in mid to late November by mowing the lawn short and follow this with an application of lawn food and a deep irrigation. Topdressing with sand or loamy soil to achieve a level surface minimises turf scalping. Topdressing can take place after full recovery from de-thatching processes or at any time during mid-late spring. In summer the use of wetting agents will keep the turf green and reduce the incidence of hydrophobic soil. In March apply a Complete NPK Fertiliser to aid root production prior to winter dormancy. This will aid the spring green-up process.
