Is your lawn looking tired after summer and in need of a boost before cooler weather sets in? This is where a liquid fertiliser can help. Absorbed directly through the leaf, liquid fertilisers, like Exceed deliver nutrients fast, much quicker than granular options.

What’s The Difference Between Liquid and Granular Fertilisers?
Both granular and liquid fertilisers are great for overall lawn health, but each suits different situations.
Liquid fertilisers, like Exceed, are taken up through the leaf for quick nutrient uptake. This makes them an ideal option for addressing nutrient deficiencies or when quick boosts in nutrients are needed.
Granular fertilisers on the other hand still have their place and are best used for giving the lawn a sustained boost over a longer period of time. Due to their ability to slowly release nutrients to the soil. They are best used throughout the growing season, when the grass is actively growing and can absorb the provided nutrients more effectively.
Why Should I Use a Liquid Fertiliser Now?
As temperatures begin to cool over the coming weeks, our lawns will naturally start to slow in growth. If your lawn needs a quick nutrient boost before winter, liquid fertilisers are an ideal choice. With rapid absorption through the leaf, they deliver nutrients almost immediately. This helps maintain colour, strength and overall health during the seasonal transition.
Which Liquid Fertiliser Should I Use?
When it comes to choosing a liquid fertiliser, our top choice is Exceed Liquid Fertiliser. Exceed is available in both a 2.5L Concentrate and a 2L Hose-On.
This fertiliser has a carefully balanced ratio of Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus as well as other trace elements including Iron and Manganese. This balance of nutrients has been specifically designed to:
- Optimise leaf uptake and green up
- Increase plant strength and lateral growth
- Harden leaf cell wall and foster harder wearing turf
- Enhance a darker green colour
Exceed is also safe for use on all common lawn types including Buffalo, Couch (Bermuda), Kikuyu, Zoysia, Rye and Fescue lawns.
Exceed 2.5L Concentrate is best applied through a knapsack or pressure sprayer and will need to be diluted with water before application. To apply Exceed Hose-On, all you need to do is clip on to your hose, turn on your tap and spray.
