Product Information

You can feed your lawn as early as mid to late spring and then continue to feed it throughout the year at regular intervals. Fertilising a lawn in autumn is also important as that helps to prepare it for the cold of winter. However, if the health of your lawn needs a bit more help than just a bi-annual feed application, you will probably want to choose a product without weed-killing properties.

Your lawn needs nitrogen to grow densely. But unless you fertilise it regularly, a lawn often suffers from a nitrogen deficiency. Phosphorous and potassium help to promote lawn growth and keep it healthy during winter. These weeds will be shallow rooting and you can pull them out by hand, or wait until the 6–8-week mark to mow them out Other than that, you can sometimes find some specialized fertilizers, like a weed and feed for St.Augustine grass, for example. When to Put Down Weed and Feed? It might seem like a lot of extra effort, to have to apply a treatment to your garden every few months to keep the grass looking nice.

Weedkillers often cause severe damage if applied to lawns within six months of sowing or turf-laying. Due to its diluted nature, it may not necessarily be as strong as granulated products can be, but it’s less likely to scorch the grass and is simpler to apply.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. Rake your lawn vigorously with a spring-tined rake, aiming to reduce loose debris without uprooting the grass Additionally, if you want to develop a more relaxed, wildflower-friendly lawn, then feeding is not required.

Fertilise the lawn right after mowing to give the feed time to work its way into the soil. If you mow soon after fertilising, you may disperse the granular feed and lessen its efficiency. You also need to make sure the grass is completely dry before applying any lawn care products to avoid burning.

How can you combat weeds and moss while still feeding your lawn?            

Most of them can be used every 6 to 8 weeks during the Spring, Summer and Autumn. Bear in mind though that because they have high levels of nitrogen in them, you may not want to apply the same weed and feed products all through the seasons.

Read the instructions before you begin – it’s important to follow them and apply the product correctly. This will ensure your safety and give the most effective results Taking the best care of your lawn means that you need to weed frequently, and fertilize at the right times of the year. Unfortunately, weeding your garden can be a time-consuming exercise, especially if you have a big piece of property. Follow the precise proportions: As we mentioned before – be careful about how much weed and feed you use. Also, make sure not to apply too much of it can use. If you’re having some trouble, we would recommend an electric spreader for applying the fertilizer as an alternative – it’s more precise and will ensure that you don’t use too much of a product.Be aware that artificial fertilisers take a lot of energy to manufacture and may have detrimental effects on the environment, so only apply if required and use the minimum amount to keep your grass in good shape – see our guide to using fertilisersand our guide to organic gardening We recommend that you use a large sprinkler system to water your lawn after a feeding session. Always water in the early morning before the sun gets too high in the sky. The heat of the day increases evaporation rate, and watering later in the afternoon or peak sun hours will be wasting this resource.
