Hydroseeding - Does it work??]]>Ashton Curriehttps://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2018/08/20/Hydroseeding---Does-it-workhttps://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2018/08/20/Hydroseeding---Does-it-workWed, 22 Aug 2018 20:39:58 +0000
We'll let you be the judge on this one. Check out these before and after shots of some our recent projects.
If you can't afford the luxury of Instant Lawn, then Hydroseeding is your next best option. Ideal for backyards, steep slopes, sports fields or anywhere you need grass!
What is Hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding is when we combine water, wood mulch fibre, starter fertiliser, a special glue, and then a grass seed of your choice. These materials are mixed together in our Finn Hydroseeder then sprayed onto your prepared topsoil base.
With sufficient watering and sunshine the grass seed should start to germinate in 1-2 weeks.

Why Organic Mulch is vital for your garden...]]>Instant Greenhttps://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2018/08/02/Why-Organic-Mulch-is-vital-for-your-gardenhttps://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2018/08/02/Why-Organic-Mulch-is-vital-for-your-gardenWed, 01 Aug 2018 21:32:28 +0000
Organic Mulch may make your Garden look tidy, but the work it does to improve growing conditions for your plants is what makes it most appealing.
In nature, the forest floor is covered by leaves, twigs, branches and decomposing material for majority of the year. With the help of animals, microbes and seasonal weather changes, these materials create a layer that protects the soil from erosion and weather extremes, suppresses weeds and also improves soil texture.
Spreading organic mulch in your garden is the best we can do to mimic this natural process.
Why Instant Green?
Not all mulch is good for your garden, some mulch has materials such as gravel, shells, volcanic rock, limestone and granite. Although these can be used as soil coverings, they do not hold moisture and do zilch to improve the soil.
Instant Green's Mulch is Organic which means there is only materials in it that is beneficial to your garden.
Another problem with mulch can be 'green mulch' such as fresh wood chips. This can cause a short-term reduction in available nitrogen which can cause yellowing of your plants for up to 8 weeks.
No need to worry about that as our mulch decomposes for at least 3 months before we sell it.
Available unscreened and 10 mm screened for faster decomposing.

4 Hour Delivery Promise*
Order now and we guarantee we will deliver it in 4 hours or less directly to site.
The Do's and Don'ts
Do apply 7 - 13cm of mulch throughout the garden/planting bed, this will settle to a depth of 4.5 - 10 cm.
Don't apply mulch directly to the base of any plants, including trees and shrubs. This 'buries' part of the aboveground stem and can cause rotting and eventually the plant will die.
Do replenish mulch 1 - 2 times per year, or when there's 3cm or less of it. This is a rough guide however, this may vary depending on rainfall, sunshine hours, temperature, and the length of your growing season. To replenish simply add another layer to the existing mulch.
Do water your garden as per usual
Do pull out any weeds you see, although mulch suppresses weeds there are still some that come through. These are easy to pull out as they have established their root structure in the mulch.
*See the terms and conditions in our 4 hour delivery promise blog.

Why Hydroseed?]]>https://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2016/05/09/This-is-your-fourth-posthttps://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2016/05/09/This-is-your-fourth-postTue, 10 Apr 2018 04:38:22 +0000
For any lawn the no. 1 solution is Instant Lawn, however, Hydroseeding is the next best option, being cost effective and providing a lush green lawn.
HydroSeeding is a process of combining water, certified grass seed (of your choice), starter fertiliser and protective mulch together, which is then sprayed onto prepared soil.
This mulch mixture bonds the seed to the soil, preventing erosion from the windblown soil and light rain. The fertiliser and mulch mixture provides an ideal nurturing environment for seed germination to establish a lush dense, healthy lawn.
When watered correctly and in premium growing conditions, germination can be seen in 5 days, however the normal time span is 10-14 days.
Ideal for school lawns, backyard play areas, erosion control on steep slopes and anywhere else you want to grow grass.
Contact us to discuss your needs.

When should you Hydro seed a lawn]]>https://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2016/05/09/This-is-your-third-posthttps://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2016/05/09/This-is-your-third-postTue, 10 Apr 2018 04:38:07 +0000
Different seasons offer different advantages
Hydroseeding in the spring and early autumn requires less water than in the summer months, however seed germination is slower and there is a higher risk of excessive rainfall/flooding.
In the heat of the summer the seed will germinate and grow faster, although consistent irrigation is needed at the right times.
In the winter months we rarely do any hydroseeding, however we can do if need be, call or email us to discuss options.

When is the best time to plant grass]]>https://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2016/05/09/This-is-your-first-post-1https://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2016/05/09/This-is-your-first-post-1Tue, 10 Apr 2018 04:37:50 +0000
The best time of the year to dry seed your lawn is in the autumn months.
Soil and air temperatures are high enough and consistent enough to encourage germination and continued new growth.
Less opposition from rogue summer grasses such as couch, paspalum etc.
As the autumn rolls through, the morning dews come through with it which also helps in germination and saving you water.
Key points to getting a strong germination strike rate is using one of our certified seed blends and applying it at the correct application rate for that seed blend.

When is the best time to fertiliser your lawn]]>https://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2018/03/03/When-is-the-best-time-to-fertiliser-your-lawnhttps://www.instantgreen.co.nz/single-post/2018/03/03/When-is-the-best-time-to-fertiliser-your-lawnSat, 03 Mar 2018 06:13:07 +0000
The best time to fertiliser your lawn is early spring, early summer and early autumn.
If your lawn is in the early stages of growth we recommend our Starter Fertiliser as this is a high energy quick release boost to establish root structure and provide coverage which helps suppress weed germination.
Once your lawn is fully established keep it green via our slow release fertiliser to give consistent colour and growth rate.
Through our new online store you can order our specially formulated lawn fertiliser that we use for our own turf for you lawn. Order Fertiliser online - Here
