Greener—and Happier—Lawns Start Here: How to Get Your Grass Glowing Fast

You’ve just moved into your forever home. Or maybe you’ve finally decided it’s time to give that brown-patched backyard some serious attention. Either way, if you’ve looked out the window lately and wished your lawn looked like something out of a Sunday postcard—you’re not alone.

Let’s chat about lawn food. Not the complicated, scary kind that sounds like homework. I’m talking about something easy that actually works. I’ve got one word for you—okay, four: Brunnings Green Up Lawn Food.

Why your lawn might be looking a little sad

I remember staring at our patchy backyard, wondering if I just didn't get the memo about how lawns are supposed to behave. But the thing is, grass is like us—it gets tired, stressed, hungry. In the wrong soil... bam, yellow spots. Too much sun? Crunchy patches. And don't even get me started on pets and the damage they do.

That’s why even the most carefree lawns need a bit of love, especially around season changes. Enter Brunnings Green Up Lawn Food—an absolute lawn game-changer. Especially if you're just starting out.

So… What’s in the magic mix?

This isn’t just a sprinkle-and-pray kinda product. It’s built on good science. You’re getting:

Nitrogen – for colour and lush leafy growth. Say goodbye to dull, boring lawns.
Phosphorus – works on the roots, helping your grass grow strong from the base up.
Potassium – adds muscle. Think about it like a mini gym for your lawn—it builds stamina and keeps disease at bay.

Put simply—it feeds the whole plant, not just the surface. It starts showing its stuff in just a few days…and the good effects last for months. How’s that for low effort, big results?

Perfect for all grass types (yes, even your tricky one)

Here's something I learnt the hard way: not all lawn food plays nicely with Buffalo or Kikuyu grasses. They're a bit fussy sometimes. But Brunnings Green Up Lawn Food is made for all grass types—including those two classics. Even lawns with clover won’t miss out on the action!

That’s peace of mind, especially if you’re standing in a hardware aisle with your toddler tugging at one hand and half your brain trying to remember the difference between 'wintergreen' and 'green couch.'

But… does it work for beginners?

Absolutely. In fact, it's probably one of the most beginner-friendly lawn feeds out there. As someone who once used a hairbrush to aerate a lawn (yep, regret that), I stand by products that do the thinking for you. With this one, there's no guesswork. Just sprinkle it on using a handheld seed spreader—or even by hand if you're old-school like that—and water it in.

I once helped my neighbour pop it down before their son’s 9th birthday party. Three days later? The grass was the main attraction. Plush, green, and photos practically edited themselves.

What could go wrong?

Now, let's keep it real. If your soil is sand-deep and hasn’t seen compost since the 90s, lawn food might seem a slow fix. It’s smart to spend five minutes checking how your soil drains and whether it's compacted or dry as toast. A little raking or aeration beforehand will let the nutrients soak in better. Think of it like massaging moisturiser into your skin rather than tossing it at your face.

Also—use it with a bit of mindfulness. Going crazy with fertiliser can encourage weeds. Stick to the recommended dose and trust that the nutrients are doing their job under the surface, even if it’s not instant.

Want your lawn to be lawn-party ready in days?

We’ve got standard lawn feeds that just… exist. Then we’ve got Green Up—this one actually delivers. If you've been wondering why your neighbour’s yard sparkles while yours looks flat, this could be the reason.

You don’t need be a horticulture nerd to use it. Just take one Saturday morning and treat your lawn to what it’s really craving. The change starts in days, and kids, pets, and neighbours will notice.

Where to grab it

You can pick up a 10kg bag at Strathalbyn H Hardware. Pop in-store and the team can talk you through how to use it and when. If you’re like me and forget what day it is, you can even order it straight from the product page and set yourself up with lush grass without juggling five yard tools first.

Your next green step

So really, don’t overthink it. Get your hands on Brunnings Green Up Lawn Food and feed that lawn the way it deserves (and secretly needs). Whether you’re prepping for footy season, picnics with pals, or just feeling proud every time you glimpse outside—this is where it starts.

Cheers to greener goals and lazy Sundays on lush lawns,
