Fertilising your lawn with Alpaca fertiliser.
Alpaca fertiliser needs moisture to dissolve and sink into the ground. The best and easiest way to feed you lawn is to spread a thin layer of Alpaca fertiliser on your lawn just before a light rain. Then the moisture from the rain will transport all the goodness of the Alpaca down to the grass roots.
Avoid to spread Alpaca fertiliser when it’s dry because then it will not sink in, or when it’s heavy rain, during heavy rain when not all the water can be soaked into the ground, the fertiliser might be washed away down the drains or to other parts of the garden.
