Given the climate in
this island moss is an ever-present problem for lawns.
Deal it a blow by
using products like MO Bacter fertiliser, but moss produces spores which it
leaves behind, and these spores can survive summer droughts only to re-infest
the lawn during the autumn and can continue to thrive during our warm and wet
winters particularly when grass growth is at a standstill. It then suffocates
the grass as it tries to establish its self again in the spring.
DJ Turfcare launched
the new product at the recent Glee exhibition and claims it which will help to
solve this problem for lawn owners throughout the country. Introducing 100%
organic ‘MO Bacter Instant’ - the new generation of the award-winning, RHS endorsed
organic lawn fertiliser, Mo Bacter.
Mo Bacter Instant –
which is both pet and child safe - comes in a two-litre bottle and should be
diluted with nine parts water. Simply use as a spray or with a watering can,
applying the diluted mix directly to the area of moss and leave for 24 hours.
The dead moss can then be raked out, and reseeding can take place straight
away.
Mo
Bacter Instant can be used year-round, and even after mowing. A single
two-litre bottle of Mo Bacter Instant will treat an area up to 200m2.
Mo Bacter Instants,
like all the organic feeds in the DJ Turfcare portfolio, won’t burn plants as
so many chemical based fertilisers can do. The product will also not stain
patios or garden furniture.
More importantly, Mo
Bacter Instant fits the green agenda, providing a truly organic solution.
While some lawncare
products have evolved beyond recognition in recent years, gardeners are still
being advised to kill moss with sulphate of iron – an entirely outdated and
non-environmentally friendly process.
David Jenkins,
Managing Director of DJ Turfcare, said: “I believe that MO Bacter Instant will
prove to be the ideal answer to persistent and difficult moss problems.”
MO Bacter Instant
Lawn Tonic is part of the Viano family of premium quality organic fertilisers,
established in Belgium in 1948 and distributed in the UK by Surrey-based DJ
Turfcare. Viano concentrates on organic products which unlike chemical-based
products, don’t harm the environment.
