Grasses

WHY USE NATIVE GRASSES?

• FERTILIZER REQUIREMENTS REDUCED
  Unlike exotic grasses that have high fertilizer requirements, native grasses have adapted over many thousands of years to suit Australias nutrient deficient soils.


• IRRIGATION REQUIREMENTS REDUCED
  Many of our native grasses have a higher tolerance to moisture stress than exotic grasses,and therefore can withstand periods of drought without the need for irrigation.


• MOWING REDUCED
  Native grasses can be mown to create a lawn or left to create a natural effect.


• INSECTICIDE REQUIREMENTS REDUCED
  Native grasses do not attract insect infestations as exotic grasses can do.


• COMMERCIAL AVAILABILITY
  As a result of research and development into seed collection, cleaning and propagation of native grass seed in recent years, many native grasses are now available on a commercial basis.


• THERE IS A NATIVE GRASS SUITABLE FOR ALMOST ANY AREA WHERE EXOTIC GRASSES ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED!
