Product Information

Full details

The MO Bacter Organic Lawn Fertiliser - 4Kg is designed for homeowners seeking a natural and effective way to control moss while simultaneously feeding their lawn. Its key benefit is the dual action of killing moss and then using beneficial bacteria to break it down into nutrients, enriching the soil. A primary consideration is that results may take a few weeks to become fully apparent as the bacteria work.

FAQs

How long does it take to see results?

Visible results, such as the breakdown of dead moss and improved lawn greenness, typically take a few weeks as the beneficial bacteria work to decompose the organic matter and release nutrients.

Is MO Bacter safe for my pets and children?

Yes, MO Bacter is 100% organic and safe for wildlife, pets, and children. They can use the lawn immediately after application.

Do I need to rake out the dead moss after using MO Bacter?

No, one of the key benefits of MO Bacter is that the bacteria break down the dead moss into nutrients for your lawn, eliminating the need for scarifying or raking.

Can MO Bacter stain my patio or driveway?

No, MO Bacter is designed to be non-staining, so it won't harm or discolour patios, paths, or stonework.

When is the best time to apply MO Bacter?

The optimal time is between late March and late September, during the lawn's growing season, and when soil temperatures are at least 10°C. It works best when the lawn is moist.

What is the coverage of the 4kg box?

The 4kg box of MO Bacter covers approximately 40 square metres.

What happens if it doesn't rain after I apply MO Bacter?

For best results, the lawn should be moist. If there is no rain, it is recommended to water the lawn lightly after application to activate the bacteria and ensure effectiveness.

Can I use MO Bacter on severe moss infestations?

For lawns with severe moss problems, a second treatment may be necessary after three months to ensure complete control and optimal lawn health.

Troubleshooting

Moss not disappearing after application.

Patience is key. The bacteria need time to work, which can take several weeks. Ensure the lawn remains consistently moist, as dry conditions can slow down the process. For severe moss problems, a second application may be necessary after three months.

Lawn appears uneven or patchy after treatment.

This can sometimes occur as the bacteria break down the moss and redistribute nutrients. Continue to keep the lawn consistently moist. The lawn should even out and show improved greenness as the grass benefits from the released nutrients over time.

Product seems less effective than expected.

Ensure the application was done during the recommended growing season (spring to autumn) and that soil temperatures were at least 10°C. Maintaining consistent moisture in the lawn is critical for the bacteria to function effectively.
