Hello has anyone got some advise on fertiliser for my thai lawn I am looking for a thai product that will feed the roots of my grass I am using urea ( not sure that is the correct spelling ) is there other products that are better .

There are many NPK fertilizers avalible.

Try a bag of 15-15-15 with trace elements and see how that goes.

We buy bags of a blue pellet fertilizer from the local Do Home that is all purpose. We use it on all our plants as well as the yard, and it works well. The label says Prayat Group with a sailing ship on the front, everything else is in Thai. It is 16, 16, 16. For the potted plants my wife usually mixes it in water, and then applies, for the yard she tosses it out and then waters.

Do some prints and take them with you.

Shops with fertilizer are usually easy to find in about any district town where the farmers shop.

Find them with your nose

In that you are wanting something to feed the roots, the urea solution at 46-0-0 does not seem to be what you are looking for.

This may help -

A common way of describing the purpose behind each chemical is to think “up, down, and all around.” Applying this simple phrase will help you remember that Nitrogen (N), the first chemical listed, helps with plant growth above ground. Nitrogen does a great job of promoting the green leafy growth of foliage, and provides the necessary ingredients to produce lush green lawns. Lawn fertilizers will frequently have a high first number for this purpose.

Phosphorus (P), the middle number, is very effective at establishing growth below ground, in the form of healthy root systems. It is also the component most responsible for flower blooms and fruit production. You’ll notice that fertilizers designed for flower production, or starter-type fertilizers for your lawn, have a high middle number.

Potassium (K), the last number listed, is considered important for overall plant health. This is primarily due to its ability to help build strong cells within the plant tissue. In turn, the plants withstand various stresses, such as heat, cold, pests, and diseases. For example, winterizer fertilizers will have a high component of potassium.

Back in the US the cheaper, less effective fertilizers seemed to have a very large first number. They would cause the lawn to grow like crazy for a while and then peter out. The better, more balanced stuff seemed to give us longer, healthier results.

From experience over the years of managing lawns in Thailand the best fertilisers are those in the NPK range but now with additional S and Mg. A lot of the soil laid around houses are land-fill soils which are lacking in nearly all the basic elements. I usually apply these compound fertilisers every 4-6 weeks in the wet season and maybe once in the dry season. I also recommend appyling lime twice in the wet season. Lime will increase the pH of these acid soils and generally help the health of both the grass lawns and surrounding trees.

Kee Kwai

Organic

Spread it on the lawn and water it well

Very cheap

Very good.

You can find it here.

Don't get the fresh stuff.

Like wine and cheese, it is better when aged.
