The Organic-Based Secret to a Thriving Lawn
Posted by Dale Parsons on 30th Jan 2023
A lush, green lawn can add beauty and value to your property. But achieving this requires the proper care and attention, especially when it comes to fertilisation. Synthetic fertilisers can harm the environment and have questionable effects on your lawn. That's why Onyx organic-based granular fertiliser is the answer you've been searching for.
Onyx is a unique fertiliser made from a blend of processed molasses and plant extracts, then pelleted into 2-3mm black prills. The result is a rich, organic-based fertiliser that delivers nitrogen, potassium, trace elements, and significant levels of amino acids. These prills are ideal for golf tees, fairways, sports pitches, home lawn care, general amenity turf, and horticulture.
Onyx has an NPK ratio of 11-0-3, providing your lawn with essential macro and micronutrients. The sugar content in Onyx promotes healthy soil bacteria and fungi, and glutamic acid acts as an osmotic agent to increase the plant's photosynthesis and transpiration due to increased absorption of micronutrients and improved metabolism efficiency. This reduces carbohydrate destruction and enhances the plant's overall health.
Onyx is not only an excellent source of nutrients for your lawn, but it also offers several other benefits. For starters, it's dust-free, making the application effortless. It also has a very low burn potential, meaning it won't damage your lawn even when applied during drought conditions. Onyx can be applied without water, although we recommend irrigating soon after application or when rain is expected. This activates Onyx by breaking down the prill, thus releasing its nutrients. The prills have an even particle size, ensuring an even spread and making it easier to apply the right amount.
Another great benefit of Onyx is its slow release of nutrients over 6-8 weeks. This means that you won't have to reapply it frequently, and the nutrients will be available to your lawn for extended periods. Additionally, Onyx is odourless, so you won't have to deal with unpleasant smells during application.
Onyx is an organic source that breaks down quickly into the soil profile, providing your lawn with the nutrients it needs to establish roots and grow quickly. The low salt index and zero phosphate content also help to prevent soil degradation, making Onyx a sustainable choice for your lawn. Onyx improves stress resistance and recovery, increasing your lawn's overall health and resilience. It also increases photosynthesis and chlorophyll production, promoting healthy growth and vibrant green colour.
Onyx is an ideal fertiliser for sports pitches, lawn care, general amenity turf, and horticulture. It can be applied any time during the growing period, with the recommended rate being 25-50 gms/sqm. For best results, irrigate after application or use when expecting rain. With its many benefits, Onyx is the perfect solution for all your lawn's fertiliser needs.
If you want a lush, green lawn that is healthy, resilient, and sustainable, then Onyx organic-based granular fertiliser is your answer. The unique blend of organic matter, amino acids, and essential nutrients will give your lawn the nourishment it needs to thrive. The added benefits of the dust-free application, low burn potential, and slow release of nutrients make Onyx an intelligent choice for your lawn. So why wait? Take action today and enjoy a greener, healthier lawn with Onyx.
