When it comes to lawn care, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is how to feed your grass. While traditional granular fertilisers have long been a go-to for many lawn enthusiasts, liquid fertilisers are rapidly growing in popularity—and for good reason. These high-performing solutions offer a level of precision, flexibility, and fast results that are hard to match.
In this blog, we’ll cover the benefits of using liquid fertilisers, when and how to use them, and highlight some of the best options from the Lawnganics and LawnPlay ranges to keep your lawn healthy, green, and thriving.
Why Go Liquid?
Liquid fertilisers offer fast absorption, even coverage, and excellent compatibility with other lawn care products. Unlike granular fertilisers, which need to break down and be absorbed through the roots, liquids are absorbed directly through the leaf. This foliar feeding delivers nutrients exactly where your lawn needs them, especially when soil conditions aren’t ideal.
Here are a few times when liquid fertilisers are especially useful:
-
In cooler months when root uptake slows down
-
During periods of stress from drought, disease, or foot traffic
-
When you need fast results, such as before an event or inspection
-
When applying multiple products and want to combine them in a single spray

Application Tips for Success
To get the most out of liquid fertilisers, keep these tips in mind:
-
Apply to a dry leaf: This ensures maximum uptake and prevents runoff.
-
Avoid mowing for at least 24 hours after application.
-
Add a surfactant: Products like Spreadwet help the spray stick to the leaf and spread evenly, improving uptake. Not required for our Lawnganics range.
-
Water in later: Depending on the product, light watering 24 hours later may be beneficial—but always follow label instructions.
-
Use the right gear: A backpack or knapsack sprayer offers great control. Calibrate your sprayer to ensure accurate application rates.
When to Use Liquids
Liquid fertilisers can be used year-round but are especially effective during the shoulder seasons (autumn and spring) when soil uptake slows or grass is recovering from stress. In summer, they offer quick visual results without pushing unnecessary growth, and in winter, they pair well with pigments to maintain lawn colour and health.
Our Favourite Liquid Blends
One of the best things about liquid fertilisers is how well they combine with other lawn care inputs. Here are a few great tank mix ideas:
-
Vitalise + Brilliance + Nourish: For colour, health, and stress protection during the actively growing months. 200ml of each per 100m2.
-
Vitalise + Brilliance + Roots: For colour, health, and stress protection during the Autumn and winter seasons as the growth habit of the grass changes. 200ml of each per 100m2.
-
Enhance + Curator: For maintenance feeding and deep green colour.
