#LawnPorn is an Australian movement with turfheads far and wide obsessing over their lawn and trying to answer the age old question; “is the grass greener on the other side?”

Without spending dozens of hours researching products for your lawn, here is a quick breakdown on the LawnPorn range.

Use: new lawns, lawns under stress and the start of the growing season.
What It Does: root system establishment and development.

Use: healthy lawn that needs a boost in colour (during the growing season).
What It Does: improves colour and upper plant health.

Root Builder
Key Ingredients: Natural Seaweed Concentrate - Balanced Auxin to Cytokinin Ratio.
Use: miscellaneous lawns (can be mixed in a tank and distributed with Launch or Green Light).
What It Does: improves root response and nutrient uptake meaning stronger roots, better plant growth and greater resistance to stress.

Charger
Key Ingredients: 1:1 ratio of Nitrogen and Potassium.
Use: good for use in summer and winter, keeps grass stronger in the winter time.
