Iron & magnesium

Keeps leaves greener, longer

Wetting agent

With Hydraflo moisture control

Scotts® Lawn Builder™ + Wetting Agent is a slow release granular lawn fertiliser with added professional grade wetting agent that helps water penetrate the soil and be absorbed, and also enhances fertiliser uptake.

When to use

Apply Lawn Builder + Wetting Agent in early spring, early summer and again in autumn. It is particularly useful in areas experiencing prolonged dry periods.

DO NOT use on garden beds.

Quick facts

Lawn Builder + Wetting Agent has an NPK of 21.6 : 1.1 : 4.1 and contains

  • 4.2% iron
  • 0.92% sulphur

Lawn Builder + Wetting Agent also helps prevent water-logging.

Why Lawn Builder + Wetting Agent works so well

This fertiliser contains a professional grade wetting agent that helps water and nutrients penetrate deeply into the soil, so promoting deep root growth. This helps lawns to be more drought tolerant. 

Scotts patented time-release nutrients are released at about the same rate that grass roots can take the fertiliser up so there is no wastage, run-off to waterways or damaging surge growth. Iron provides a quick initial green-up.

How to use

Calculate and measure out the amount needed to fertilise the lawn (18g per m2.) Using a Scotts spreader is strongly recommended.  No need to water in immediately, but do so if possible. It is fine to apply it and wait for the next watering day or rainfall. Grass will green up within one week of receiving moisture.

Sizes

Available in 2.5kg & 4kg bags

Be aware

  • Do not use Lawn Builder + Wetting Agent on lawns less than 8 weeks old.
    For new lawns use Lawn Builder New Lawns & Repairs instead.
  • Do not apply when the temperature is expected to exceed 30 degrees.  
  • Sweep Lawn Builder + Wetting Agent granules off paths and paving to avoid iron staining

Good for you,
your garden and the environment
