Personally I would not touch it until the spring. Agreed. These sorts of turf have already been heavily fertilised by the suppliers, so do not add any more. Thats why I always use a local supplier who I know, and who apply only a light feed. Fertilise with an autumn feed this will do it no harm realy you should have applied an autumn feed to the soil prior to turfing I don't really think so, unless the soil is genuinely impoverished. Too much feed _can_ do harm, and is certainly a waste outside the growing season. Many lawns are overfed to the point of obesity, anyhow: they rarely need extra nourishment -- certainly not the constant annual applications which are designed to stimulate fertiliser companies into lush growth and give gardening writers something to write about. Much more important is to prepare the soil into a loose but settled tilth before the turf arrives -- exactly the same as for sowing seed. Which is why seed is usually not only better, not only cheaper, but actually less work. Having said that, though, I simply say relax and let the stuff grow: you can get away with murder. -- Mike. |
