hi guys Joe here from lawn solutions Australia some lawns can lose colour and
turn brown over the winter months so now is the perfect time to apply colorguard
Plus to give your lawn an instant hit of colour and nutrient to improve its
overall appearance. this can also eliminate the need for iron treatments
and the need to over so with cool season seeded varieties. the best time to apply colorguard
Plus is when your lawn has slowed in growth but it is still healthy. warm
season turf grass varieties are the more common and environmentally responsible
choice for our dry conditions. warm season turf grass varieties whilst
fantastic in summer because they use less water will lose some colour over the
winter which is the only thing cool season grass varieties have in their
favour. but there is a solution where you can have a green lawn all year round
whilst being environmentally responsible and that solution is colourguard plus
colourguard Plus is a natural grass pigment that when applied is absorbed
into the leaf of the grass keeping it green even when it is slowed in growth
and when it's no longer producing chlorophyll. you can use it all year
round it has 100% natural ingredients that
won't harm the health or growth of your lawns and it lasts for up to three
months. now I know what you're thinking that it's just spray paint to your lawn
well in a way a kind of is as it turns your lawn green, but the comparison stops
there the significant difference is that colour
guard Plus doesn't stick to the outside of the leaf like a paint, it is absorbed
into the leaf as a pigment. this will give your lawn a much more natural
appearance whilst not disrupting the function of the plant. how to apply
colourguard plus to your lawns/ Spray colourguard plus when it is dry and there is
no rain forecast. work your way across the lawn from one side to the other if
you happen to get some on your concrete driveway or any other surface be sure to
rinse it off straight away to avoid any staining
colourguard plus also contains a liquid fertiliser component providing a small
boost to the health of your lawn so it's not just a cosmetic fix, it has a
nutritional benefit as well. colourguard plus also acts as a
blanket for your grass allowing it to retain an internal leaf temperature two
degrees higher than untreated area you can apply colourguard plus when it's
actively growing but the product will grow out with the leaf like dyed hair
but much quicker. if it is still actively growing it can still be useful if you
have an event or after a quick spruce up for photos where it only needs to
improve the colour for a specific date or time period. if you apply colourguard
Plus once it's slowed in growth you can get the benefit of the green leaf for up
to 12 weeks. an area like this is about a hundred and fifty square metres and it
only took 15 minutes from start to finish
once the lawn has absorbed the colourguard Plus and it is dry this is usually
within 24 hours you can then hose off the lawn to remove any residue. this will
help to ensure you avoid any unnecessary transference. ColourGuard plus is now
