How much dynamic lifter

The important point about Dynamic Lifter, is it has a chicken manure base, and we all know how power packed chock poo is. Compared to other animal manures, chicken comes out on top for nutrient value.

Of course it needs to be well aged before you can apply to plants which is not a problem here. On top of the chicken manure, other natural ingredients have been added — Blood and Bone, fishmeal and seaweed which all go through a special composting process and are pelletized, like this, to make it easy to apply. The benefits of applying organics such as Dynamic Lifter are many. Firstly, they help with soil structure. It can also be successfully raked into garden beds and soils which increase its efficiency to feed the soil with natural nutrients.

As the use of Dynamic Lifter has increased, many people have furthered the use of it and included it in their lawn fertilising programs. This is an excellent addition to lawn care fertilising, but there are a few points to keep in mind when using Dynamic Lifter as a lawn fertiliser.

The slow decomposition of Dynamic Lifter pellets may seem to make them unsuitable for use on most lawn types as a fertiliser. Theoretically, they would be removed with the next lawn mowing, making the entire process a waste of time and money. Some careful planning can get around this potential problem and allow us to make use of this wonderful organic fertiliser on our lawns.

Using Dynamic Lifter all year round is not a good option, as during the faster growing seasons the fertiliser pellets would never have enough time to break down between cuts, but not too worry… there are two ways around this problem. Put Dynamic Lifter onto the lawn directly after lawn mowing, this allows the fertiliser to sit on the lawn and break down for the longest period of time between cuts.

Ensure the lawn receives adequate water between now and the next lawn mowing, this aids in breaking down the Dynamic Lifter pellets. If possible, the next lawn mowing should be done without a catcher, this will allow the left-over pellets to go through the mower blades and be pushed deeper into the leaf of the lawn.

The lawn clippings are also full of Nitrogen, water and other nutrients which are a great food source for lawns, so an occasional mow without a catcher is recommended — at least a couple each year. Winter can also be a great time of the year to use Dynamic Lifter on lawns. The longer period of time between mowing, and the free and abundant water provided by the rain, give the fertiliser pellets plenty of time to decompose.

A fertilising program that includes the Winter application of Dynamic Lifter can be a great idea. Knowing these two points will guide you on the way to selecting an appropriate There are two different ways to apply fertiliser to your lawn — liquid or granular. Releases nutrients slowly, improves the structure and moisture retention of the soil and encourages earthworms and beneficial soil micro-organisms.

NPK 3. NPK WA only 5. Always water well after application. As a guide, one adult handful holds about 75g. One cupful holds about g. Flowers and vegetable beds Mix g per square metre into soil prior to planting, and then re-apply as a side dressing every six weeks during the growing season.

Native shrubs, azaleas, rhododendrons and acid-loving plants Starting 15cm from the plant trunk, apply 50g to g per square metre, in spring and again in autumn higher rate for fast-growing plants. Place in shallow holes spread over the root area of the tree.

Potted plants As a guide, use 10g for a 15cm diameter pot, or 30g for a 30cm pot etc. Planting trees and shrubs Mix between g and g into the soil in the planting hole as it is being filled. Lighter in smell than original Dynamic Lifter and once applied and watered in, the smell reduces quicker.
