When handling larger volumes of More than Lawn Mix ensure stockpiles are covered to give protection against weather conditions and windblown weed seeds. Do not drive over stockpiles as this will compact the mix. For new lawns, apply at 30-50mm depth on newly cultivated soil that has been cleared of weeds and old turf. Sow seed at the recommended rate and water thoroughly. For existing lawns, apply Lawn Mix to a depth of 20-30mm and sow seed, watering thoroughly. Keep lawns watered daily until grass is well established.
Ordinary garden soil and products like compost and mixes may contain a variety of living micro-organisms, some of which, on rare occasion can cause illness in humans. Serious infection is rare. However, for older people or those with reduced immunity, infection can be life threatening. We recommend the following precautions: avoid opening bags in enclosed areas; avoid inhaling the mix; always wear gloves and wash hands after use. See your doctor if you develop high fever, chill, breathlessness or cough.
Living Earth products are made with a compost base produced from Auckland’s greenwaste. This is great for the planet but the reality of greenwaste recycling means that small inorganic items can sometimes remain after the composting and screening process. You can be confident Living Earth meets the NZS 4454 (and BioGro) standards and all products go through a pasteurisation process which mean they’re safe with lots of long-term benefits for your soil. Your plants will thrive and your veggies will taste delicious. Please just be mindful of what goes in with your greenwaste when it is time for harvesting and pruning all that growth.
