Yates Lawnmaster Slow Release Lawn Food is a professional grade, slow release lawn fertiliser designed to give you a strong, green and healthy lawn. Each fine granule releases an equal level of nutrients so you achieve a consistent result and avoid surge growth and burning while minimising nutrient runoff and leaching.
Features
- One application feeds continuously for 12 weeks, giving you a thicker lawn that resists weed invasion and has a deeper root system
- Rapid visible results, improved colour
- Together with slow release nitrogen minimises risk of nutrient loss into the environment
Directions for use
When to apply
Apply any time of year, during periods of active growth. For best results, we recommend application in early spring, early summer and early autumn.
Application rate
Apply at a rate of 18g/m2. Note: One adult handful contains approximately 50g.
How to apply
Calculate lawn size and required amount of Yates Lawnmaster Slow Release Lawn Food. For hand application, apply to lawn evenly at the recommended rate. Using a sweeping arc motion, spread half the amount required walking in a north-south direction, and the remainder in an east-west direction. To cover large areas use a lawn fertiliser spreader.
Yates Lawnmaster Slow Release Lawn Food does not need to be watered in immediately when applied to dry foliage. Ideally, apply before forecast rainfall, or water in well to activate the product.
Handy tips
Mow lawn before application. Do not mow until granules have been thoroughly watered in. During summer, if feeding a cool climate lawn such as bent or fescue, use half the recommended rate.

Spring lawn care tips
Spring is one of the busiest times in the garden. Here are a range of things to be on the lookout for with your lawn.
Resuscitate your lawn
Does your lawn look a bit sad? The reason might not be as obvious as you think: thatch build-up or soil compaction might be the culprits. Here's what to look out for and how to tackle it.
Why and how you should fertilise your lawn
Lawns are made up of many thousands of small, hungry plants, that all consume energy. Seasonal bursts of growth and regular mowing can deplete the lawn’s energy reserves, so here's how to top it up.
