Story: Lawn Care - Spring Lawns
Presenter: Neville Passmore

Now is the perfect time to get out in the garden and get your lawn into shape after winter. But before we start feeding and repairing our lawns, we should pause and ponder the environmental impact. Any excess fertilizer ends up being washed into underground streams, ultimately winding up in the Swan River where it can contribute to toxic algal blooms. We need to be fertilizer smart and Neville has all the answers that will guarantee a lush, healthy, green lawn that is environmentally friendly.

About Baileys

• Baileys Fertilizer is a family owned company based just south of Perth in the industrial estate of Kwinana, Western Australia.
• The Bailey Family has been involved with the horticultural industry since 1926. From early beginnings at the family base in Spearwood they worked as suppliers to market gardeners, flower producers and orchardists.
• As the agricultural and horticultural trades became more sophisticated and the demands of clients changed, Baileys found itself at the forefront of developing specialist products for the turf industry and later on, the domestic market.
• As the nursery trade began to flourish, Baileys introduced Controlled Release Fertilizers to nurseries across Australia. As the business expanded, new markets were found in the forestry industry, commercial turf and potting soils trade.
• In 1997, Baileys installed a granulation plant that produces a wide range of specialty granulated products, including Brilliance & 311.
• Today, Baileys manufacture a wide variety of high quality fertilizers, potting mixes and mulches for that same broad spectrum of customers from their premises in Kwinana.
• “In the future we will continue to uphold our emphasis on quality and value, on which our reputation has been built.”
