Kikuyu Grass Growing Tips

Unlock the secrets to making Kikuyu grass flourish with these expert tips:

• Watering: Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth, adjusting based on weather conditions and soil moisture levels.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertiliser during the growing season to provide essential nutrients for vigorous growth. We recommend Lawn Solutions Premium Fertiliser
