Tough Turf Preseeder 8-12-8 (+3% MgO + Zn)

Premium Pre-Seeding Fertiliser for Strong Turf Establishment

Tough Turf Preseeder 8-12-8 is a professional-grade, slow-release fertiliser specially formulated to deliver steady nutrition for the successful establishment of sports and amenity turf seedbeds, as well as newly turfed areas. Its carefully balanced nutrient profile — rich in phosphorus (P) for root development and supported by magnesium (MgO) and zinc (Zn) — ensures vigorous early growth and long-lasting turf strength.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Slow-Release Formula: Provides consistent nutrient availability to support healthy, even turf growth from the start.

  • High Phosphorus Content (12% P): Stimulates strong root development and improves seed establishment.

  • Added Magnesium & Zinc: Enhances turf colour, stress tolerance, and early root strength.

  • Organic Base with Seaweed: Enriched with natural organic matter and seaweed extracts for improved soil biology and sustained fertility.

  • Versatile Application: Ideal for use before seeding, over-seeding, or laying new turf.

  • Enhanced Growth & Colour: High phosphate and potash levels encourage dense, hard-wearing turf with a vibrant green finish.

Why Choose Tough Turf Preseeder 8-12-8?

This proven formulation promotes uniform germination and rapid establishment, even under challenging conditions. The inclusion of magnesium not only boosts colour but also helps mask early signs of stress, ensuring your new turf looks healthy and resilient from day one.

Recommended Use

Apply Tough Turf Preseeder evenly across the prepared seedbed before seeding or turfing to ensure uniform growth, outstanding colour, and long-term performance.

Clover Multi-Purpose Compost is a peat-based growing medium for all plants. It is suitable for seed sowing, potting-on, containers, hanging baskets, tubs, vegetables, and bedding plants. It’s one of the most versatile composts for both home and professional gardeners.

Yes, Clover Multi-Purpose is an all-purpose compost designed for almost every type of plant. However, for lime-hating plants such as rhododendrons, camellias, and azaleas, we recommend using an ericaceous compost for best results.

Clover Multi-Purpose is peat-based, giving it superior water-holding capacity, root aeration, and consistent performance. Many gardeners prefer it over peat-free options for reliability, though we also stock peat-free alternatives if you want an eco-friendly choice.

Yes, this compost is enriched with nutrients to feed plants for up to 4–6 weeks after planting. For longer-term growth, simply add a liquid or granular fertiliser once the initial feed runs out.

Absolutely. The fine, consistent texture makes it excellent for seed germination and young seedlings. Just follow your seed packet instructions for sowing depth and watering.

Yes. This compost has excellent moisture retention and drainage, making it one of the best composts for hanging baskets, patio tubs, and containers. It helps prevent plants from drying out too quickly, especially in warm weather.

No, it is not certified organic as it contains peat and added fertiliser. If you’re looking for an organic compost, we can recommend suitable peat-free alternatives.
