Description
Baileys 3.1.1 Plus is a fully granulated, balanced lawn fertiliser formulated for both new lawn establishment and ongoing turf maintenance in sandy and water-repellent soils commonly found across Western Australia and Perth.
The mini-sized granules move easily through the grass canopy and reach the soil surface, where they dissolve evenly and begin feeding the lawn faster. This allows nutrients to enter the root zone efficiently, reducing waste and improving overall lawn performance.
A key advantage of this lawn fertiliser is the inclusion of Grosorb wetting agent, which improves water infiltration and helps overcome hydrophobic soil conditions. By allowing water and nutrients to spread evenly through the soil profile, Grosorb reduces dry patches and improves moisture retention.
The formulation uses low phosphate to encourage healthy root development without excessive nutrient leaching, while higher potassium levels improve disease resistance and tolerance to heat and water stress. Added trace elements help correct common nutrient deficiencies found in WA soils, supporting consistent colour and growth.
Baileys 3.1.1 Plus is best applied during the warmer months and is suitable for regular lawn feeding every 6–8 weeks.

Key Features
Baileys 3.1.1 Plus is engineered to deliver efficient nutrition, improved water movement, and consistent turf performance, making it suitable for both residential lawns and high-use grassed areas. Each feature works together to support healthy growth while reducing waste and water loss.
- Mini-sized, fully granulated particles allow nutrients to fall through the leaf canopy and reach the soil surface easily, ensuring even distribution and faster breakdown after watering.
- Integrated Grosorb wetting agent improves water penetration in hydrophobic soils, helping moisture and nutrients spread evenly through the root zone and reducing the risk of dry patches.
- Low phosphate formulation supports strong root development without excessive leaching, helping protect surrounding soil systems and waterways.
- Higher potassium levels improve turf resilience by increasing resistance to disease, heat stress, and water stress during warmer months.
- Added iron and manganese address common micronutrient deficiencies in Western Australian soils, supporting deeper green colour and balanced lawn growth.
Lawn Benefits
When applied as part of a regular feeding program, Baileys 3.1.1 Plus helps maintain a healthy lawn that performs well under Australian conditions. The balanced nutrient profile and added wetting agent work together to support both visible results and long-term turf health.
- Encourages strong root establishment, helping lawns anchor more effectively and recover faster from wear, renovation, or seasonal stress.
- Improves lawn colour and density by supporting steady growth and correcting common nutrient deficiencies that lead to patchy or pale turf.
- Reduces dry patches caused by water repellency by allowing moisture and nutrients to move evenly through the soil profile.
- Improves moisture retention and water efficiency, helping lawns make better use of irrigation and rainfall.
- Enhances drought and heat tolerance, allowing turf to stay healthier during hot periods and reducing stress-related damage.
