Grass plants require ease of access to hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. This is facilitated by good soil structure with a high proportion of macro pores which allow adequate gas exchange and movement of soil and water which are essential for root respiration and photosynthesis.
Granular fertilisers can be spread by hand or by using pedestrian or tractor mounted spreaders. The important thing is to make sure the fertiliser is spread uniformly and at the correct rate.
