Guanoboost FAQ

1. Why should I use GuanoBoost?

GuanoBoost is an organic fertiliser, and here is why you should use it.

  • It improves your soil structure.
  • Helps with water retention
  • Releases the nutrients that are in the soil
  • Improves the microbial activity (all the earthworms and fungus you need in the soil will be there).
  • Lastly, be a giver, not a taker. When using GuanoBoost, you are sure that you are not taking from the soil but adding to it.

2. Why is my lawn turning brown?

Firstly, you need to understand why your lawn turns brown or gets brown spots/patches.

Here are some of the common reasons why your lawn is turning brown or having brown spots/patches:

Thatch- is the accumulation of dead and decomposing organic material nestled between grass blades and the root system. A little thatch can be a good thing, but a layer over 1,2cm thick can choke the grass by preventing the flow of air, water and nutrients, making your lawn more susceptible to pests and diseases.

Over-fertilisation- Excessive nitrogen can cause unfortunate brown spots. Do not overfeed your lawn by fertilising more often than is recommended, and do not fertilise on hot days.

Poor soil quality- Poor soil quality can lead to brown, bare patches. Try pushing a long head screwdriver 8cm deep into your soil. If you meet too much resistance, try aerating and covering the area with top dressing to add beneficial organic matter.

Dog urine- Urine from animals like dogs can create brown spots on your lawn since it's high in nitrogen. These brown spots have brown centres surrounded by dark rings.

Under-watering and overwatering- Excessive moisture can lead to brown patches, so be sure to water your lawn early in the morning before 9 am or between 4 pm and 6 pm to ensure that the grass dries out fully before nightfall. If you allow your lawn to remain wet all night, it will become more susceptible to diseases and pests.

Grubs- Grubs are plump, white beetle larvae that can cause severe damage by eating roots. Their feeding habits can lead to a uniform, sponge-like brown spots in your grass.
