Miracle-Gro Evergreen Lawn Dressing

An application of 100% organic Miracle-Gro EverGreen Lawn Dressing (commonly known as ‘top dressing’) will improve the root zone of the lawn grasses, as it reduces compaction and increases aeration. It encourages increased grass root activity which will improve the lawns ability to withstand hard wear and drought conditions. The organic matter will also help to maintain an acid balance in the soil which will encourage healthy turf growth and grass to thrive.
