Product Information

Healthy grass is your best defence against the build-up of moss and weeds. Choose a Best Buy lawn feed to make sure your grass is fighting fit and ready to take on the mossy scourge. This product is claimed to use organically sourced fertilisers and mycorrhizal fungi to encourage healthy growth in your lawn. Although not a Best Buy, it still made the lawn look great, improving turf quality and colour significantly. Make sure the lawn isn’t dried out and tired. Applying weed killer at this point could actually do more harm than good. Again, this will be your team of 1 star reviewers missing the correct plan. Ensure the lawn is not dry prior to spreading. Hopefully you’ll get a lovely steady bit of rain and you can time this, otherwise, you can use a garden sprinkler if you don’t have a hosepipe ban. I certainly hope not in May anyway!! Some of the best lawn feeds are those which are designed with slow-release formulas, working in different phases to continue improving the health of the lawn for weeks after application. The Scotts Lawn Builder Lawn Food starts to revitalise the lawn in around seven days, then continues slowly releasing nutrients for eight weeks.

Unlike some other fertilisers, there is also no odour emitted by these granules, creating a more pleasant garden atmosphere.Apply liquid formulas early in the morning, or in the evening. If it gets too hot then the formula will evaporate before it’s had time to be absorbed. The active weed killer ingredients include Dicamba and Mecoprop which are pretty common in agriculture and shouldn’t be too much of a concern, especially if you follow the instructions properly. Aside from the information found under Description of first aid measures (above)and Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below),no additional symptoms and effects are anticipated.

After use immediately wash out equipment with water & detergent to remove all traces of weed killer, fill with clean water & leave overnight These feed the grass , which is all most lawns need to keep them looking good. If you want to feed the grass as well as kill moss or weeds, look further down for products that contain both or even all three. Mark out areas to be treated. Apply evenly at 32g/m2 over the marked area with suitably calibrated granular applicator. Bio Advanced Weed and Feed issafe to use around pets when applied following label directions. The brand recommends wearing the appropriate protective personal equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product to areas treated with the spray mixture. Is Expert Gardener Weed And Feed Safe For Pets?It doesn’t contain anything specific to combat weeds, so if killing weeds alongside refreshing the lawn is a priority, this may not be the best lawn feed for that purpose. However, healthier lawns in general do stay more resistant to both weeds and moss. Celandine, lesser ( Ficaria verna subsp. verna (syn. Ranunculus ficaria)): Method 7 – needs early treatment. Returf small areas containing celandine. For example, the Miracle-Gro Water Soluble Lawn Food will cover up to 400 m², whilst the Vitax Green Up Liquid Lawn Feed will cover 200 m², and the EverGreen Miracle-Gro Complete 4-in-1 Food 100 m².

Having a soluble formula also means that there is less likelihood of scorching – this happens when a high concentration of product is applied to one place and burns it and is more common with granules.

If you’ve recently planted new grass, look for a lawn feed that’s high in phosphorus and nitrogen . Alternatively, for established grass, high-nitrogen lawn feed can promote a growth spurt if the lawn is struggling. Method 7: Plants needing two or three applications of weedkillers containing MCPA. Examples includeVitax LawnClear 2, Vitax LawnClear 2 Feed and WeedLiquid (also contains fertiliser)or Weedol Lawn Weedkiller. One of the most important things to consider is the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) in the lawn feed. The best lawn feed will have a NPK ratio that suits your garden’s needs – nitrogen encourages leafy growth, phosphorus helps establish roots and potassium helps with overall grass health. This was the best granular feed we tested. The quality of the turf improved significantly over the testing period and gave the grass a lovely deep-green colour. It needs to be applied every six weeks.

This last point is referred to by Miracle-Gro as their ‘WaterSmart’ formula – it encourages the absorption of water and nutrients into the grass which can help protect it from drought and general stresses resulting from poor conditions. February is pretty quiet but March would be my first cut and scarify session. Don’t be scared of scarifying. If you have a super cool scarifier/aerator like the one linked in the guide here again for convenience, it’s no more effort than mowing the lawn… April/May The formula contains no phosphorus, and has an NK ratio of 14-5 meaning it’s high in nitrogen, with a reasonable amount of potassium too. Method 5: Plants needing two or three applications of weedkillers containing 2,4-D plus mecoprop-P;or 2,4-D plus dicamba. Examples include Doff Complete Lawn Feed, Weed & Mosskiller, Westland Aftercut All-in-One Feed, Weed and Moss killer or Vitax All in One Feed, Weed and Mosskiller (these also containfertiliser and mosskiller).
