Bibra Lake Soils

Garden Fertiliser Perth

Feed the lawn, feed the veggie bed.

Lawn food, a granular weed and feed, a tomato and vegetable fertiliser, and a mineralised compost that does both jobs at once. These are the two things people come in for most — a lawn that has gone tired over summer, and a veggie bed that has stopped producing.

If you are feeding natives, proteas, roses or citrus, those want something targeted and they are on the plant food page instead. Everything here is bagged and ready to spread.

How much fertiliser do you need?

What a bag actually feeds

Fertiliser is the one thing on this site where too much is worse than too little. Every rate below is the manufacturer's own, and none of them are generous by accident.

Measure the lawn or the bed before you buy. A 10kg bag sounds like a lot until you find out it is one pass of an average front lawn.

ProductBagWhat it feeds
Lawn Food10kg400m². All grass types, buffalo and kikuyu included.
Lawn Feed as you Weed10kg150m², at 1kg per 15m², monthly.
Plus Tomato & Vegetable Fertiliser2.5kgBetween 50 and 125m² of bed, at 20–50g/m².
Soil Solver Compost Plus MineralsBaggedAbout one bag to 10m² of lawn, or 2–5 litres per m² dug into a bed.

Keep the Lawn Feed as you Weed granules off concrete, paving, brick and the driveway. The iron in it stains hard surfaces permanently, and that is the complaint we hear most about it.

How to choose a fertiliser

Four things that actually decide it

  • Lawn or garden bed

    A lawn food is formulated for grass and a vegetable fertiliser is formulated for crops, and swapping them wastes the product. The one crossover is the Compost Plus Minerals, which Soil Solver rate for both at much the same rate.

  • Whether there are weeds in it

    A straight lawn food will green the grass and do nothing at all about the weeds growing in it. If clover and flat weeds are the actual complaint, the weed and feed does both jobs in a single pass.

  • Buffalo, and what stains

    The granular Lawn Feed as you Weed is buffalo safe — Richgro confirm it. But the iron in it permanently stains concrete, paving, brick and driveways, so it is the wrong product for a lawn that runs hard up against exposed paving.

  • Spread it thin and even

    Every fertiliser here has a rate on the bag and going heavier gains you nothing. Too much in one spot burns the grass rather than feeding it, so spread thinly and evenly and water in afterwards.

Customer feedback

What people say after they have used it

Garden fertiliser FAQs

What we get asked at the counter

  • Will Lawn Feed as you Weed stain my driveway?

    Yes, permanently, and this is the number one complaint with the product. The active is iron sulphate, and iron marks concrete, paving, brick and driveways in a way that does not wash off or fade out. Sweep or blow any stray granules back onto the grass before you water in, and never tip the bag out on a path.

  • Is weed and feed safe on buffalo?

    The granular Lawn Feed as you Weed that we sell is buffalo safe, confirmed in Richgro's own FAQ and printed on the bag. The liquid version of the same range is not buffalo safe. Do not carry the assumption across to a bottle at another shop.

  • What is the difference between a lawn food and a weed and feed?

    A lawn food only feeds — it will thicken and green the grass and leave the weeds untouched. A weed and feed does both, and this one knocks the broadleaf weeds back with iron rather than a synthetic herbicide. If the lawn has no weed problem, the straight food is the simpler buy.

  • Which fertiliser should I use on my vegetables?

    The Plus Tomato & Vegetable Fertiliser at NPK 11:1:7. Tomatoes are on the front of the bag but the herbs, brassicas and salad greens beside them take the same feed, at 20 to 50 grams per square metre. It also carries a soil wetter, which on Perth sand is the difference between feeding the roots and feeding the path.

  • Can I use these on natives or proteas?

    No. Natives, banksias, grevilleas and proteas want a deliberately low-phosphorus food, and that is on the plant food page. Feeding a phosphorus-sensitive native with a general fertiliser is the most common way people lose them.

  • How often should I fertilise?

    Follow the rate and the frequency on the bag, and resist going heavier. The weed and feed is monthly at 1kg per 15 square metres; the vegetable fertiliser goes on in early spring, mid summer and autumn. There is nothing to gain from a fourth pass.

  • Do these come with an NPK analysis?

    The Richgro products do — 5:0:0 with iron for the weed and feed, 11:1:7 for the vegetable fertiliser. The lawn food's bag does not print one. If you need exact numbers for a soil test, ask at the counter and we will read what is on the current stock.

  • How much will one bag cover?

    The 10kg lawn food feeds around 400 square metres, and the 10kg weed and feed treats 150 at its label rate. The vegetable fertiliser depends where you sit in the 20 to 50 gram range. Bring the area and we will work out how many bags at the counter.
