A mixture of iron sulphate, ammonium sulphate and fine sand.
In order to control weeds and benefit the grass, lawn sand must be selective in which plants it destroys. The difference in shape and structure between grass leaves and weed leaves / moss enables lawn sand to only harm the weeds / moss. When applied to the lawn the lawn sand 'settles' on the broad leaves and fibrous mass of moss and scorches them so they are destroyed. Because grass blades are fine with little horizontal surface area the lawn sand slides off and falls between the grass blades and onto the soil / thatch layer. This means that the grass blades are not scorched by the effects of the lawn sand.
When lawn sand reaches the soil it stimulates grass shoot growth and also helps to 'green' the lawn. In this sense applying lawn sand acts as a double-edged sword, on the one hand protecting the lawn and on the other hand strengthening the lawns vigour.
If you have any moss in your lawn then the moss will die and turn black. This
will need to be raked out or scarified approximately ten days after applying
the lawn sand.
See the scarification page for pricing.
Applied during a dry day in Spring when the weeds are in mid growth.
