The Low Cost Granular Summer Programme
Synthetic Formula
12 5 14 3MgO Low Cost Synthetic

This is a synthetic slow release fertiliser that is applied three times during the summer season, in April, July and August and releases nutrients over an eight-week period.
The number of bags per Summer programme are:
Half Lawn 3 x 15kg bags
Full Lawn 6 x 15kg bags
Bowling Green 9 x 15kg bags 
​
How it works
The fertiliser contains nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium which are often referred to as NPK. These are essential nutrients in fertilisers for croquet lawns, each offering distinct features and benefits. Nitrogen promotes growth, aiding in leaf and stem development, crucial for the dense, uniform playing surface for croquet lawns. Phosphorus supports robust root growth, enhancing the turf's ability to establish and maintain a strong foundation, vital for withstanding wear and tear especially around hoops. Potassium contributes to overall turf health and stress tolerance, helping the grass withstand environmental pressures such as drought and disease while promoting resilience and recovery. Together, these nutrients provide a balanced nutritional regime, ensuring optimal growth and vigour of the turf, thereby improving playing conditions and aesthetic appeal. 
MgO
3% of Magnesium Oxide is included in the fertiliser to promote photosynthesis and plant health.
Slow Release
The slow release is accomplished by incorporating longer, more complex molecules which take bacteria longer to break down. This method does not use a polymer coating so doesn't pollute the soil, environment and bird life with microplastics. 
When to apply?
This is a synthetic fertiliser not organic and is therefore can scorch if incorrectly applied. To avoid scorch, apply late in the day and leave overnight before playing on the lawn or better still, apply before rain or irrigation. 
Mowing
 You can mow before application if you wish. After application it is best to mow with the box off until the fertiliser has dispersed so that you don't mow it off the surface with the clippings.
Scarifying
Synthetic fertilisers do not reduce or prevent the build up of thatch in the root zone. As thatch can make the lawn spongy and slow, you may need to scarify in the autumn to counteract any build up of thatch in the soil. 
Safe to use
 The fertiliser is not toxic to humans, pets or wildlife. 

Nutrient input
The programme inputs the following amounts of nutrition

N - 108 kg/hectare
P – 19.8 kg/hectare
K – 104.6/hectare

​The inputs of P and K are equal to plant demand. Building up phosphates in the soil can lead to an oversupply, which can result in a number of negative environmental effects. One of the main concerns is that excess phosphates can lead to the growth of harmful algae blooms in nearby water bodies. This can lead to a decrease in the oxygen levels in the water, which can harm fish and other aquatic life. Additionally, the overabundance of phosphates can also lead to an increase in weed growth and a decrease in the overall health of the soil. It is important to use phosphates in the soil in moderation to maintain a healthy balance.
